there are 2 reasons for the serial bitrate change.
First It is related to my implementation for the unilink protocol.
In the unilink protocol, during the idle phases the data goes high and
low during 8ms each.
The master can talk only during the data low phases so I have to listen
to the master.
During the data high phase I am guarenteed that the master won't talk so
I can poll the rockbox by sending a polling char then wait for a
response as long as the data remains high (8ms).
if I want to send 10 chars, it takes about 10ms at 9600b/s. which is too
much.

The second reason is that the software tx patch does poll the timer
during transmission, and I have to transmit inside the rx interrupt. So
the interrupt does last a long as the transmission (blocking other
interrupts).
The faster I transmit, the least time is spent inside the interrupt.

I should have used 57600 b/s but I had a problem (don't know where). It
does work at 19200 that's why I did not change.

Yes it is no more compatible with the standard remote that I don't own,
even if standard remote codes are still supported.
Just a matter of initialization.
