IR Blaster allows you to input the correct IR codes so that an IR transmitter (often called a 'bug') connected to the headphone socket on a Squeezebox will send these codes to control another device. You can set it up so that when you press Volume-Up or Volume-Down on the SB3 remote, it doesn't alter the SB3 volume, but instead sends a volume IR command to your amp. Because you don't have 'traditional' Volume-Up or Volume-Down buttons in the iPeng app, this functionality is lost. An alternative would be to have an option to use such buttons instead of the volume slider, but that doesn't fit with your design model particularly. Also, I don't know what CLI commands would need to be sent by iPeng to mimic the V.Up and V.Down actions, and whether they would automatically trigger the IRRemote actions. If someone uses an SBC with IRRemote: Is there a Volume Up/Down button on the Controller, and does it trigger the IRRemote actions?
