With a TRG-pro, yes. It should work the same with your Visor.

Assuming that you can get the discovery process to work, which has been
tricky for me, you should have no problems. Just point your sync manager
at /dev/ircomm0[1].

The bit that has given me the most trouble is getting irmanager and the
IR stack to work happily together. If you get that then the rest is a
doddle.
