Thanks for corrections, I've to admit this was very first time I tried
to get IR working and I was quite proud of it until you declared me
wrong. :) 
I was thinking RC5 is a protocol?
BTW, had a look at lircd.conf.devinput, how could it help me with my
rare remote? Shall I replace my lirc.conf and go thru setting up
~/.lircrc again? How could this improve my current setup?
