Hi!

Assuming you are on debian/ubuntu, have you read the README.debian file? 
In particular, the need for a separate systemd service for the 
transmitting part.?

Given the the complexity of this configuration, you might be better off 
creating a separate lirc_options.conf and feed t to the new service as
a -O option instead of a large amount of options in the service file. In 
any case, configuring the "main" lircd process and the transmitter ones 
are separate issues besides avoiding name collisions.

The LOAD_MODULES/MODULES part translates into 'insmod XXX' commands in 
the [modinit] code stanzas.
