Taking a ride on this subject, I have an ATI remote control (USB) and when I 
press some of its keys several keypress events are generated at once, even if 
I press the buttons as quick as I can. If I quickly press and release 
the "mute" button, for example, the mixer state changes at least 5 times, 
making it very difficult to set it to the state I want. However, when I press 
the "mute" key on the keyboard, only one keypress event is generated, as 
expected.
Is there a way to configure this behavior?

Thanks,

Marcelo
