Probably :) But the main problem is if you really need lirc. The link in 
my last message tries to sort out how the kernel works together w lirc.

It might be that the error message comes from a (failed) attempt from 
the kernel to decode the data. You should be able to get rid of this by 
disabling the kernel decoding (same link...) and use lirc instead (which 
then reads the raw data from the kernel driver).

All this is arguably a mess :(

First debugging step (if you decide to use lirc's decoding) is to use 
mode2 to check the data from the driver. This makes no sense as long as 
the kernel still tries to decode the data, which is the default setup.

Cheers!
