Question: Do you want to be able to control the new SBR with your
SBx-remote?
    
- Of course I want to!
- Nah, why should I?

Dean has said that the SBR button is intended to act as a
"pause"/"unpause" button, so there's at least part of what you wanted.
It's not the full IR set, nor the Control Sled I proposed and nobody
else seems to like ;-) but it's something.

If the button behavior is controlled by SqueezeCenter code, it should
be possible to do things like define
single short click = pause
double short click = skip forward
triple short click = skip backward
all in a Perl plugin. Or go crazy and define a bunch of commands based
on Morse code. :-)
