Do you really need to know the signal format?  I recently built a 
mult-device IR controller (similar to the one recently described in Byte
magazine).  No need to decode the format, just digitally "record" a
sample of the signal and play it back.  The Byte article describes
the tricks to reducing this to a manageable volume of data.
