when using lirc-0.7.0_pre7-r1 the min_repeat option in lircd.conf no longer works. It worked fine in lirc-0.7.0_pre7. The patch added in -r1 is breaking this, which is not good. Basically it means any remote which sends infrared signals multiple times per a single button press (numerous sony remotes, pioneer remotes, I'm sure there's tons more) now actually counts as multiple presses in lirc. This is not good at all as it basically means when I'm using an lirc application a single press is counting as 2, or more.
i have notified the original patch author and will dig into the patch asap. Jordan , can you give me some examples of your config file, which remote/driver you use, kernel version, etc? the more information the better. thanks.
I use lirc_serial with an serial device that I built.

I got this from the original patch author... so it looks like currently changing the ebuild to only apply the patch when streamzap is the selected driver is the way to fix this, for now, until someone starts hacking on it to fix it. > From: sailor@sailorfrag.net > > Hey > > It's very likely caused by the change in daemons/receive.c that changes > the select() timeout.

I agree with you there, there's no reason to break this for everyone, just for the people who need it, and in their case it's probably not broken....
i fixed the ebuild to only apply the patch when use="streamzap" is given
