You have noted that here are two paths, right? One which uses the kernel 
decoding (ir-lirc-codec etc), an event device and the devinput driver. 
And one bypassing the kernel decoding, using the /dev/lirc0 device and 
the default driver? And that the latter part requires that the kernel 
decoding is disabled i. e., that only the lirc protocol is enabled in 
the /sys/class/rc/rc0 device?


Cheers!
