Hi. Is there a way to make XBMC stop listening to lirc events without killing it? The thing is that I would like to have XBMC running all the time but sometimes use other applications in front of it. So ideally I would like to be able to minimize/maximize the XBMC window also, from external scripts started by irexec. At the moment it takes forever to start XBMC with >500 VDR channels and recordings using the pvr-testing VDR client branch. But if I have XBMC running in the background it will listen to my remote when I run other apps in front of it. It would also be nice to make XBMC release the alsa device so I don't have to use pulse for that. Basically, what I'm looking for is a way to "suspend" the XBMC process. Any suggestions?
