Interesting, though I interpret that iPeng is not used in this scenario
in any way and the commands can only be issued trough html requests
(i.e. web page). But this proves me wrong on suspecting that SBC
couln't be utilized to issue IR remotely, via WLAN in this case. So in
theory the proposition of being able to control A/V system remotely
with iPod and correctly aligned SBC is not too far fetched :)

I very much agree that it would be a very powerful solution to have an
app that could be installed to SqueezeServer and which would be able to
call and execute the IR commands configured for SqueezeIR. Then I guess
SqueezeServer UI (whether accessed through web browser, iPeng,
whatever) could issue any command specified in SqueezeIR. Perhpaps in
the simplest form this would require replicating the commands that are
issued when you physically press SBC buttons...

This link I had seen somewhere, maybe there was link somewhere hear
earlier. I'm a bit puzzled where the IR-blaster (it says there is one,
but I presume it cannot be attached to box itself) is located so that
it reaches all A/V equipment. Btw pretty similar approaches are iRule +
Global Cache (wlan) ir emitter and RedEye
(http://thinkflood.com/products/redeye/what-is-redeye/).

But in this case when we have a unit (SBC) that is capable of emitting
IR + this wonderful app that can make the IR hw part in the SBC do
pretty much anything, it is tempting idea to be able to control this
wirelessly, e.g. control the amps volume from patio in the garden with
iPod :)
