In case a fellow VIA SP13000 wants to try out the PAC SWI-X solution, don't bother. The SP13000 doesn't have enough CPU muscle to decode the infrared consistently. I first tried out using a serial infrared cable designed for winlirc, with a winlirc server running in the background and winlirc plugin for girder. This setup only would respond if no music wasn't playing. Useless. Then I replaced serial infrared cable using an igor version elminating the winlirc server layer altogether. This made a dramatic improvement, but only worked 50% of the time. My fast AMD desktop computer had no problems or hiccups. The best solution for VIA SP13000 owners is to purchase CarButtons as it requires very little CPU overhead.
If you have fast CPU and interested in going with PAC SWI-X solution my serial infrared cable (igor version) is available. Just Private Message me.
