Thanks for the explanation, optimistically I took the contents (the
commands at least) of the lirc files I'm using and put them through
hex2dec in excel only to find out there isn't any kind of logic in the
number sequence - as you suggested above :)

So the trial and error approach does not look like viable one, but hey,
at least I've got the basic commands working and that's great! Thanks
again!

By the way, does anyone here know anybody who might be up to (and
interested in) the task of creating a server side plugin based on
SqueezeIR...? ;)
