Ok, I have my vista mce remote working with the iMON ir receiver (also working in xbmc). So no need for an extra mce-receiver.
Here's the lircd.conf:
#Lircd.conf for xbmc. No need for custom Lircmap.xml
#Allows my vista RC6 MCE remote (see
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Image:MCE-Remote-2-v1069.jpg) to work with my iMON ir receiver (silverstone ML02/MX)
