I could do either one, if needed. Actually maybe a runit script... 

Yes, this works well, with the help of openvt.

Here's my runit script (/var/service/freevo/run):


#!/bin/sh
modprobe lirc-serial
ln -sf /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc
chown fugalh:audio /dev/lirc0
/etc/init.d/lirc restart
exec openvt -sw -- su fugalh -c "startx -- :1 -layout ntsc"

It's not perfect; X doesn't die when openvt does, so sv stop/restart
doesn't work, but at least it starts on boot, and restarts if I
accidentally exit freevo. :)

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the 
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
