OK, that sounds like a good way to solve this as well. I'm very new to this subsystem, so I don't know what layer should perform what function. >>> Now, the question is why the trailing silence isn't generated >>> within a reasonable time.

I think it's the out-of-tree saa716x_tbs_dvb driver: [ 7.670565] input: saa716x IR (TurboSight TBS 6281) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/rc/rc0/input6 [ 7.671156] rc0: saa716x IR (TurboSight TBS 6281) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/rc/rc0 > And it's what most of the popular hardware does. So I'll have to rework this patch to function at this lower level, and try to upstream it to TBS.

I see what you mean, but I don't see how the proposed patch fails in this sense. Or were you referring to the proposal of adding a timer at the ir-nec-decoder level?
