lirc plugin doesn't work with inputlirc

[Jonathan Rauprich]

inputlirc is a simplified LIRC daemon which works just for input devices. see: http://www.realh.co.uk/dvbhowto/ar01s08.html

when i use inputlirc with elisa, and pressing any key it doesn't do anything, but throws an exception like that:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/python/log.py", line 84, in callWithLogger
    return callWithContext({"system": lp}, func, *args, **kw)

exceptions.TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'NoneType'

comparing the output of irw when running inputlirc and lirc shows a little difference:

inputlirc: cf 0 KEY_PLAY pci-0000:00:0b.1-event-ir
lirc: 00000000800100cf 00 KEY_PLAY devinput

the lines always look like: HEX_KEY REPEAT KEY_VALUE REMOTE
in this example HEX_KEY and REMOTE are different, but that doesn't matter, since these values can be configured in the remote.map, the issues is the REPEAT value in inputlirc its 0 and in lirc its 00

in lirc_input.py at line 144: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elisa-developers/elisa/1.0/annotate/head%3A/elisa-plugins/elisa/plugins/lirc/lirc_input.py#L144

repeat is compared to '00', that fails with inputlirc. solution would be converting repeat to integer and comparing it to 0

i'm gonna upload a patch soon
