I think it is a good idea to have a decoder that works with such files anyway.

There are some good reasons for that, as it would allow in-kernel support for
protocols that may have some patent restrictions on a few countries that allow
patents on software.

We'll need to discuss the API requirements for such decoder, in order to load
the RC decoding code into it.

Cheers,
Mauro.
