oops, sorry, my first comment was obviously nonsense ;-)
for situations like that you can use the little helper-program called
"irxevent" that comes with lirc
so something like
begin
button = Shuffle
prog = irxevent
config = Key KEYNAME PROGRAMNAME
end
see http://www.lirc.org/html/irxevent.html for further information
this is not the nicest way, but it should work. (irxevent let's you
control any program, also those without lirc-support, btw.
to startup programs with your remote, you can use irexec)
