I might have got wrong then a comment in the middle of the 
imon_incoming_packet() of the SoundGraph iMON IR patch:

+	/*
+	 * Translate received data to pulse and space lengths.
+	 * Received data is active low, i.e. pulses are 0 and
+	 * spaces are 1.
+	 *
+	 * My original algorithm was essentially similar to
+	 * Changwoo Ryu's with the exception that he switched
+	 * the incoming bits to active high and also fed an
+	 * initial space to LIRC at the start of a new sequence
+	 * if the previous bit was a pulse.
+	 *
+	 * I've decided to adopt his algorithm.
+	 */

Cheers,
Mauro.
