I found a solution working for me.

1. sudo service stop lirc
2. sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 irrecord.out
3. record some buttons
4. copy recorded irrecord.out to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
5. sudo service start lirc
6. irw
7. push some buttons and it works.

My conclusion is that you need a valid lircd conf to get output from lircd
hope that helps someone
