You did not read closely enough.  I am not talking about MPlayer using
lirc, I am talking about configure (not) detecting that lirc support
is available on the machine MPlayer is being built on.

There is a (naive) test in configure:

  if test -c /dev/lirc ; then
...

There is no guarantee that the lirc device is /dev/lirc, and in fact
when using devfs it is in /dev/lirc/<driver> (i.e. /dev/lirc/serial)
so thusly, lirc autodetection fails when using devfs.
