I was wondering if it´s possible to connect an ir-emitter to my XBMC PC, and send commands to my AVR with it? For example, I would like to change AVR´s sound field settings automatically to surround when watching video, and automatically to stereo when listening to music. My AVR has got an RS232C -port also, but I don´t know whether it´s possible to use it for changing settings?

I think you'd be able to achieve this with a harmony remote

I have harmony, but I haven´t figured out how to do this. Separate activities isn´t really an option for me. Any tips?

BTW, I haven´t found discrete commands for my Sony AVR´s sound fields, any idea where to find?

You could write a Python addon to control via RS-232c

Yeah right. It was over a decade ago I wrote "Hello World" and some basic PHP. Not going to happen... Maybe I'll just continue changing sound field manually.
