This may be an option, but I think we should be able to attach protocol decoders in parallel, directly to the IRQ handler. At least with RC-5 (that's what I personally use) it means reliable decoding, no need for any timeouts, the code is clean, fast (can be a part of hard IRQ handler) and simple. The decoder needs something like rc5_signal_change(ptr, space_or_mark, microseconds). At least mark->space or space->mark events must be reported. For better reliability, both of them. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
