Do you mean the IR remote?
The IR remote acts directly on the player while iPeng (as well as the
Squeezebox Controller) talks to the server.
The PLAYERS do have a "play other tracks in album" functionality, but
the server does not, so there is no "play album from track x" command
in SqueezeCenter.
What you have to do is:
1. Stop Shuffle
2. Start Album
3. Skip to track X
4. Restore Shuffle
If your server responds quickly, this will all happen before the first
track starts to play but if the response is slow, the player will start
early.
The only way to avoid this is by doing

1. Stop Shuffle
2. Clear Playlist
3. Load Album into Playlist
4. Go to index X
5. Start Playing
6. Restore Shuffle State

But if communication is slow, this can easily take 4-5s, and I was
trying to avoid that delay.

Again: can you do it with the Web Interface?

I think my first answer in this post will answer your question, too.
iPeng does not talk to the Boom directly but only to SqueezeCenter,
SqueezeNetwork is not yet supported, but I hope to have it included in
one of the next releases.

The Boom ALWAYS has to talk to either SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork
to play at all.
