That seems to be a different problem to the one I was seeing.
Unfortunately I cannot help you, but I'd suggest looking at bitwise
inverse, reverse, and shifts of the IR codes to see if there are any
patterns there.  I notice that VolGora is 0x490 (010010010000) and
Power1 is 0xA90 (101010010000).  You can also read more on the various
IR protocols used by remotes to see if a protocol ambiguity would
cause your results.  Finally, use the xmode2 program to compare the
signal sent by your original remote to that sent by LIRC.
