I upgraded my ECS Liva from Debian 8 to Debian 9. Everything appears to 
be OK, except I cannot receive IR signals anymore. However, everything 
seems to be OK.

# ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event5) with:
         Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce
         Supported protocols: unknown other lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony 
nec sanyo mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp
         Enabled protocols: lirc rc-5 jvc sony nec rc-6
         Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared
         bus: 3, vendor/product: 1934:5168, version: 0x0001
         Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms

In addition, Xorg appears to see it as well:

However, when I capture signals I don't get anything:

# ir-keytable -c -p NEC,RC-5,RC-6,JVC,SONY -t
Old keytable cleared
Protocols changed to rc-5 jvc sony nec rc-6
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.


This was working 2 days ago with Debian 8/Jessie. What am I missing?
