Excellent! I did some reading and found the Sony protocol (aka SIRC)
needs to send the commands twice for them to be actioned upon.  In a
moment of blondness I wrote the code to ignore the <count> property if
there is only one action - why I don't know!  I don't think it wouldn't
have worked anyway as the timing on the ir emitter is a bit flakey due
to the lack or processing power on the controller.  What's needed is a
way to string together multiple reps into a single command that gets
sent to the emitter's drive in one go. I'm looking at re-writing that
part of the code.

irBlaster can indeed learn codes and generates lirc files that
SqueezeIR can use (using it's LIRC protocol).  You copy the
irBlaster-generated lirc file from your server onto the controller and
reference the commands in it from the xml file.  I have used it on the
classic and it works fine.  The learning feature may work on the
boom/radio/touch as that part of the plugin only needs a receiver, not
an emitter.  I don't have any of those so I can't say for certain
though.
