Im using xPL to issue commands to control a Windows application in response to IR signals received by a Squeezebox 3 or a Boombox. If you enable the xPL interface (supplied in a standard Squeezecenter installation) then install the core xPL software xPLHal (v1.60 from the xPL Project site) and xPLHub (from xPLmonkey.com) you should be able to get to the stage of creating Determinators. These handy things will enable you to perform an action in response to an IR stimulus. I have no programming knowledge but, using this method, Im able to change the radio station on a DVB-S card sitting in my Squeezecenter PC by pressing buttons on the squeezebox remote. I imagine that with some scripting skill it would be possible to do fancier tasks than that. Incidentally, regarding your point all IR signals are transparently forwarded to the squeezeserver, my experience suggests only valid Slim Devices or JVC DVD commands get repeated to the server. I think the Squeezebox firmware determines this. Good luck.
