Hi guys, can we please re-close the bug? There's nothing anymore on the
software side that can be fixed. The Igorplug has a ring buffer of
limited length. If your remote control sends sequences that are longer
than that (e.g. like my Onkyo RC 242S), then the buffer overrun is bound
to happen each time the remote sends a button press. My proposed patch
thus removed the error message (because it doesn't provide any further
help), but the author of lirc decided to leave it in. My proposed patch
also removed the message if the device said "dude actually on second
thought I don't have data for you" (the "GET_INFRACODE: error 0"
message). The author accepted that on second try (that's what's in
r1.35). So the original fix for this bug only made sure as much
information as available would be returned, just as in the w32 driver
(it previously returned only the part that was neither overwritten nor
overwrote something, the part that overwrote something was missing).

tl;dr: the driver is as good as it gets except for useless messages.

If the recording tool doesn't work for you, then you still can use mode2
to get the pattern for each key press and then manually derive an
lircd.conf file from it.
