No, it won't work for this use case.

"Misusing" the UDP driver probably is the easiest way to achieve this.
You probably only missed sending the gap between signals to lircd. You  
should tell more about what you are exactly sending and how lircd is  
configured.
The best way would be to just use a simple protocol like Sony and  
generate the correct signal sequence in your program instead of having  
the raw signals stored in you program. But it does not really matter.
