Final follow up.  It worked!  It turns out my source remote emits two
seperate IR codes, one signal first which is one tick of the volume,
then a slight (~100ms) pause, then the repeating signal.  The
procedure I used to learn the proper code was to set my 15-2116 to
learn, then point my source remote away, and press and hold the key,
then after a second turn my source remote at my 15-2116.. Viola.

Thanks again Rob,
