I know that lircd does matching instead of decoding, which allows to
handle unknown encodings.  Thats why I think there will always be cases
which only lircd will be able to handle (using raw samples).

That doesn't make attempts to actually decode the IR samples a useless
exercise though ;)

Well, in my opinion it is kind of useless. I don't see any use case or any
demand for passing this kind of information to userspace, at least in the
LIRC context.
If there's no demand, why bother?

There have been complains about this getting lost somewhere in this thread, so it looks like there are people which do care.

cheers,
  Gerd
