lirc won't play with space encoded remote anymore

[Juerg H. <ju...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm having troubles getting a space encoded remote to work with lirc.
I'm using a serial receiver, lirc 0.8.3-CVS and kernel 2.6.22. I
created a config file for this remote a while ago with lirc 0.7.0
without any problems but it doesn't work anymore with the latest
version. I checked the HW with a scope and xmode2 and it all looks
fine. When I try to create a new config file, irrrecord figures that
the remote sends 17 bits but in fact it's only 12. No wonder it's
confused :-)

If I use an RC5 remote, everything works just fine.

Below are the tail of the irrecord output and the headers of
the two config files, the original one created with 0.7.0 and the new
failed attempt with 0.8.3.-CVS.

Any help is greatly appreciated
