Why? Carrier measure (if supported by hardware I think should always be enabled, because it can help in-kernel decoders). (Which raises seperate question on how to do so. I guess I will need to make ir_raw_event 64 bit after all...) Another thing is reporting these results to lirc. By default lirc shouldn't get carrier reports, but as soon as irrecord starts, it can place device in special mode that allows it to capture input better, and optionally do carrier reports. Do you think carrier reports are needed by lircd?
