I have an iPod Touch (4G, jailbroken, iOS 5.0) connected to a dock (Made for iPod) that sends commands through the dock connector (most likely using the Apple Accessory Protocol) to the iPod, for example. to start and stop playback. When the iPod is hacked, I see the commands that appear when I'm on the iPod as follows (here, press the play / pause button on the dock several times, each line will be pressed by one button):
iPod Touch:~ mobile$ od /dev/tty.iap

I don’t understand why the entry here is always different. When I press the same button, I expect each line of input to be the same (obviously ignoring the offset marker at the beginning). The play / pause button works fine (if this command oddoes not work).
So my question is: is there a better way to call odor another utility that I can use so that I can see the request correctly? Or do I need to change the baud rate or something like that?
EDIT: From time to time, two input lines are displayed for pressing one button, and not just one. Could there be a alignment / buffering problem?
