If you send IR, the drivers send a usb packet. However, the kernel will
sleep for however long the IR is in ir_lirc_transmit_ir, so your other option
is to set the transmit carrier repeatedly instead. You'd have to set the
carrier to a different value every time.


{
	int fd, carrier;

	fd = open("/dev/lirc0", O_RDWR);
	carrier = 38000;
	for (;;) {
		ioctl(fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_CARRIER, &carrier);
		if (++carrier >= 40000)
			carrier = 38000;
	}
}
