To me, a more interesting application of CIR reception (beyond the obvious learning-remote thing) is the possibility of using the Neo900 as a receiver, so you can control it with any old remote you have laying around.
I dont understand the use of IRDA which nothing supports today and that never worked satisfactionary a decade ago anyway, wifi/bluetooth whatever is better, so personally i would prefer CIR rx-tx for remote and wifi for filetransfers.

LIRC supports recieving, and irreco/qtirreco uses the lirc daemon for transmitting.
