 * output: stream of bits, 2 bits per output byte (data in LSB, flag in next higher bit)
 *
 * Each output byte contains two valid bits, the data bit, and the
 * flag bit.  The LSB (bit 0) is the data bit, and is the original
 * input data, delayed 64 bits.  Bit 1 is the
 * flag bit and is 1 if the corresponding data bit is the first data
 * bit following the access code. Otherwise the flag bit is 0.
