Hei Stuart,
I would like to thank you!

take sniff:
http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/UsbSnoop/default.htm
use parser to sniff:
v4l2-apps/util/parse-sniffusb2.pl

and try to look parsed log. You can see USB-protocol rather easily by 
comparing driver code and sniff.

you are correct, 50 entries is max size.

bytes 1-4 are remote code, 1 & 2 is like device address and 3 & 4 
contains key code. Last 3 bytes are some data returned by chip, HID / 
key code.

When I added remote support the reason I used polling was that I didn't 
get HID working. I don't know why. And I haven't even sniffed how 
Windows driver handles that - only uploaded ir-table to the device as 
seen from sniffs.

Could you make patch that adds AzureWave remote to the TinyTwin? 2.6.30 
merge windows is now open. I will try to examine this remote issue 
during weekend. Use this tree http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/
