TBH, I havn't read the complete thread. That said, I understand your 
situation as if the kernel decoding route is at a dead end for you (?).

Note, the alternative is to let lirc decode the raw timing data. I know 
this has been mentioned before, but perhaps you missed this opportunity?

Obviously, the existing config files doesn't work for you. One option 
would be to use irrecord to create a new config file after setting the 
protocol to 'lirc' and re-checking that mode2 still works as expected. 
Might work, dunno, but given that mode2 is OK for you I think you have a 
fair chance.

Cheers!
