After updating lirc to the latest stable version (0.8.2-r1) my creative livedvd (serial attached microcontroller controlled receiver) stopped working. Also no luck with cvs version. While every version including 0.8.1 works perfectly. Also tried with x86 - same results.

You should send this bug to lirc-developers as we do not know the hardware nor know about the lirc-changes since then.
This was upstream bug, everything works again with cvs snaps or with 0.8.3_pre1.
