Would ya'll agree with this?

LIRC uses their own format IR and it is not standard and it is limited in only using RC-5 protocol and only to a certain frequency.
You need an IR that can go from 30KHz - 500KHZ like professional remotes (RTI). A lot of remotes are coming out with higher frequencies.

So if you really want to know about IR protocols and how they work please search or look for Philips RC-5, RC-6 and RC-MM for 2 way communication since AT&T U-Verse uses them.

Cheers,
Jed

Its mostly a bunch of crap, so far as I know. LIRC can pass raw IR  
from the device to the daemon, so as long as the daemon can figure out  
the protocol and decode it, its supported. Pretty much all major known  
IR protocols are supported, certainly way more than just RC-5 and only  
a certain frequency. Whoever said that was quite clueless.
