What I have done is to port your port of the msmce driver to the suggested rc-core subsystem I sent you in private a week or so ago, and it works fine (I've bought the hardware and tested it with 20 or so different protocols). The subsystem I suggested is basically what I'm using as inspiration while working with Mauro in improving rc-core so msmce should work well with the end product...but there's still some ground to cover. Porting the msmce driver to rc-core will be high on my list of priorities once I've done some more changes to the API. > Cooler if it works both through LIRC and with an internal protocol > decoder.
