Firstly, I'm honoured to have some of the forum's heavyweights gracing
my little thread!

I don't know what the Transporter, Boom & SB classic do with their
received ir codes and as I don't have either of them I can't find out.
However, looking at the irBlaster description here:
http://www.gwendesign.com/slimserver/dev_hard_and_software.htm#irblaster
indicates to me that the raw codes from the player are indeed forwarded
to squeezecenter.  The codes and square-waves on the second screenshot
look just like SqueezeIR's NATIVE protocol so if the codes can be
captured with squeezecenter (and it looks like they can) then conversion
should be trivial.  I'm thinking of moving SqueezeIR's config file from
csv to xml which might make life easier, I just have to learn how read
xml first!
