While I cant comment on ampaPOD as I've never heard of it before, I can tell you that I've been quite happy with my IRman and the people responsible for creating it. I asked them to create an x11amp (before the name change) plugin, and they said that they didn't have the time to do it but would support anyone who did. So I took that offer up and they shipped me a free IRman for creating the plugin. If there's any features you'd like to see in the next update please dont hesitate to ask. Already planned: mute, 100's (or 1000's) of playlists, next/prev playlist option to beep on button presses, option for tv-like display on button presses, and maybe lirc support.
About that mute button: the reason why its not part of the plugin is that I have my prologic receiver connected to my computer and I'm using that remote with IRman. The first version of the plugin didn't even have volume control!:) Mute was just one of those things I overlooked, it will be in the next update along with a few more features to keep Rob a bit more happy.
As far as I can tell its right before the kernel prints "Sound initialization started" durring the bootup sequence (for me, right after it says "lp0: using parport0 (polling)."). Once it gets to this position it wont continute. Only a cold boot (reset button) lets me get by this part. I've had this problem since I've started using devel kernel (starting with 2.1.130). Anyone know whats going on?

Its still available to download, and I think a new version (which allows you to run it on Irix 6.x).
Check it out here.
