In addition to what I mentioned in the previous message, I also set the sensor input port to active. Setting it to passive also works, in which case the ambient light level seems to be around 480-495, and the sensor aimed directly at the IR port (...)

Regarding your program. Try sending 0s, not xs, i.e.: char *buffer = "\0\0\0\0\0"; Zeros are coded with the IR on 91% of the time, while xs are coded with the IR on only 45% of the time, neglecting the modulation, which cuts that all down by half.
