would you mind telling me what hardware driver you are using? I have no 
idea....

Uhhh... "Every time" I look at Lirc I find "new" "interesting facts". 
As far as I am aware, Lircd.conf cannot cannot express a rc5x signal (it 
consists of seven bits Manchester-encoded, a middle gap, and then 12 
more Manchester-encoded bits. The lircd.conf language cannot express the 
middle gap. (If I am wrong, please correct me!)  IrScrutinizer's 
Lirc-generator also misses the goal, in that it ignores the middle gap. 
Sigh...

Thanx for bringing this to my attention.

The workaround/fix is of course to generate use the "Lirc raw" export.

Greetz,
