This is odd. Eventlircd should pick up the device, just checked and the udev rule matching the usb id is present in 98-eventlircd.rules.
Could you post the output of "lsof | grep /dev/input" and "cat /proc/bus/devices/input"?
If event7 is opened by eventlircd then most probably the spinelplus IR receiver doesn't support your remote - it's not configurable like the other IR receivers via ir-keytable.
so long,
