Might be easier to get a blue tooth adapter and a ps3 remote, instead of all that messing around.
Sorry that there are people on here that are unhelpful and just tell you to google it.... really they have no business replying to topics just to troll like that. Perhaps the mods can set some better guidelines for idiots like that.

I've used the remote output on my Onkyo tx-l5 with lirc audio a couple years back, but I compiled lirc myself with just audio support, I have no idea how to set it up using the config files.
You might want to use a 1k series resistor and a parallel diode to limit the voltage going into the soundcard though, the signal on the remote output is usually 5 volts.
I've also used it with the lirc serial port driver, I hooked it up so I could also send to the Onkyo, then started playing with different remote codes.
A couple different codes would trigger a debug mode in the receiver, one of which was a 50 hertz sine on the subwoofer output with the volume set at max, that was a bit scary.

Ah ok. Does sound a little complicated though! but I suppose that's the fun of this stuff hehe. Good luck on your set up.
