Commands are just plain text with new line as separator. See
DOCS/tech/slave.txt for more details, everything in there apply
to all commands input, not just the slave mode.

lirc is probably not the best example. It must use this buffering bcs
the lirc lib can potentialy return very long commands that wouldn't fit
