The official site is http://lirc.org. Among other things, here is an
updated Configuration Guide.

At the same site there is info on the APIs, in particular the Client
API. The problem is that Kodi uses the raw events (documented in
lircd(8)) instead of  using that API. Changing this in a stable
application as Kodi requires some serious thinking  to not break
existing setups -- using the proper client API functionality must
basically be opt-in, I guess. That said, scanning the docs will reveal
the functionality in the API which is missing in the raw socket
interface.

The first step should be to file a bug against Kodi for not using the
API and the corresponding loss of lirc functionality (and, ironically,
added configuration complexity).
