Take a look at http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/ . They have everything you need: schematics for the receiver (serial port and others), WinLIRC itself (the program that analyzes the received IR commands) and gen_ir Winamp plugin (a plug-in for Winamp, at least for Winamp 2.x. Personally not tested with higher versions). They use standard IR remote controls e.g. for TVs ...
One tip from me
When you make scheme shut down first PC then connect IR reciever and then power up your computer.
If you don't make this your Ir don't work.
