Comment:
Much to my disappointment, that's right.  The remote doesn't speak any of the IR protocols that the devinput layer supports.

`ir-keytable -v -t -p rc-5,rc-5-sz,jvc,sony,nec,sanyo,mce_kbd,rc-6,sharp,xmp,imon,rc-mm`

I had to use LIRC to make a custom remote protocol, where it can discover the gaps between pulses, how they're terminated, etc. It's a remote for a piece of stereo equipment.
