If I may weigh in: firebending source would have to be the sun, as during a total eclipse the firebender couldn't bend at all - same as when the moon was "removed" by Zhao in book 1 and waterbenders couldn't bend at all. I think Iroh was describing that the breath is just the vehicle or "catalyst" for firebending to express the chi or flow of energy in a firebender :) Just my take on it.
