This is much better!!

I just had a look at atilibusb.c. It appears that it just nukes the 
"channel number" (which I suspect is what in X10 terminology is called 
house code 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_(industry_standard)#Protocol ). Line 365:

     buf[bytes_r - 1] &= 0x0F;

So, I suspect that just removing that line and adjusting the lirc.conf 
should do the job. Use 16 bit data, and I suspect that the "channel" 
will show up in pre_data, one pre data per "channel".

Greetz,
