Thanks for the info.
The problem affects all applications using Martin Kahr's wrapper class 
which does use the wrong information from the events coming from the 
system to gain the info on which button was pressed. This is why Front 
Row will react and Joost won't.
The current implementation of Remote Buddy's Apple Remote emulation 
does only contain workarounds to support previous versions of said 
wrapper class. I'm already working on a workaround to also support 
applications using the updated version of the wrapper class.
I do plan to provide free BSD-licensed sample code on how to access 
the IR receiver from applications in a fashion that works across 
system versions in the future.
Best regards, 
Felix
