To generalize even further, each packet looks like this:
8n X1 ... Xn

X(n) is a pulse or space duration, pulses have the MSB set. The other 7  
bits encode the length. The resolution is 50 us.

84b6108a07 means:
4 bytes:
0x36 * 50 us pulse
0x10 * 50 us space
0x0a * 50 us pulse
0x07 * 50 us space

values longer than 127 * 50 us seem to be encoded by several sequential  
bytes.
0x80 marks the end.

Should be trivial to implement in the driver. Actual it's the same  
format that the receiver uses.
