Disclaimer: I'm new to LMCE and still trying to find my way around the web admin, and writing this from memory... If someone wants to clean it up, fill in the gaps, and make a wiki entry I think it would help a lot of people out.
Special Note: First and foremost, the plug and play functionality of USB UIRT is NOT an lircd setup. This may be spelled out somewhere, but it was lost on me. Once I figured that out with confirmation from tschak909 I quite trying to fit steamzap into a lircd configuration and started making progress. It's also worth noting that it is is likely possible to setup USB UIRT as an lircd device, but I didn't go that way and it's likely counter productive unless you have a complicated remote and an existing working lircd configuration file for it.
Step 1: Verify USB UIRT is installed and configured. Once you plug in the USB UIRT it should be plug and play and add both the USB UIRT device as well as the Windows XP MCE Remote (USBUIRT). Go to Wizard->devices->media directors. Near the bottom of the page you should see the MCE remote listed, with the Infrared Receivers pulldown set to USB UIRT 0038.
Step 2: Add your remote. From the Media Director Wizard, simply click the Add Remote button and go through the add/create steps. If you are doing a streamzap (apparently the model number for the remote is PC_Remote), you will likely have to start with Add Manufacturer to put in streamzap, then close and re-open the window to be able to select it. The Device Category should be changed to USB-UIRT remote controls, but I took the long way to figuring this out, started with Remote Controls < Peripherals, and fixed it in the next step.
See the image below for steps 3 through 5
Step 3: Configure the remote correctly. Go to Advanced->Configuration->Device Template, find the remote you just added, and click the Pick Template button. This brings up the Edit Device Template window. If not already set, change the Device Category to Peripherals - Remote Controls - USB-UIRT Remote Controls.
Step 4: Add the Configuration (string). In the Device Data box, add the new parameter Configuration (String). Put the key codes in the Default Value field. For the configuration I grabbed the config for the MCE remote (USB UIRT) for the button names. Then I did a tail -f on /var/log/pluto/53_USB_UIRT_0038.log and as I pressed each button on the remote I grabbed the codes from the error message and built a configuration from that. BTW, I did this in OO Word Processor, not the web page. The box is way to small. I had to do this twice to get both key codes for each key. Perhaps someone else can explain this better, but it appears remotes send two different key codes depending on if you hit the button once or twice. The configuration codes I am using are listed at the bottom of this post. I also clicked the Use Master Device List Defaults box because that's the way the Windows MCE remote was setup, and again I don't know what it does.
Step 5: Add the Remote Layout (String). In the Device Data box, add the new parameter Remote Layout (String). For the Remote Layout (String) entry I just used the same setup as the MCE Remote. I have no idea what the default layout of "W" is, but without a Remote Layout (String) entry, the router will not reload. It loops on an error (apparently 50 tries, but I didn't let it go that far). Hopefully someone can better explain what this does and what options other than W are for.
save and close the Edit Device Template window
Step 6: Remove and re-add the remote. Back to the Media Director Wizard. Remove the remote, add the remote, then update the MD. After this you should be prompted to reload the router, if not do a quick reload.
At this point you should have a working streamzap (or other) remote.
I will try to keep this post updated if/when anyone finds corrections to this process.
