How about support for a webTV keyboard. You can buy them just about anywhere and this would making searching for songs way easier... Just don't try to type while driving :O

Supporting any consumer IR keyboard should be pretty easy - I'm assuming that's what a webTV keyboard is. I've got an alphanumeric remote control sat here just waiting for me to get round to writing the necessary driver code for it. I also have access to a full IR keyboard but I'm not sure whether it is a consumer IR one.

The IR driver in the kernel currently uses parallel state machines to support both the remote control and the buttons on the front of the unit. Further remote controls can be added easily by just adding another state machine as long as you don't go overboard - the IR interrupt overhead could end up being huge!

HTH
