I've been doing a bit more reading through the API and I think it would
be fantastically easy as SqueezeIR and the iTach speak (almost) the same
language.  It would also be quite cool.  I've already done the hard work
of converting disparate ir protocols & lirc files into a common format
that the Controller can understand and it is trivial to convert that
into something that iTach likes and spit it out to the network.

All it would require is a new flag in the xml file to indicate whether
the ir events should be sent via the Controller's built-in ir emitter
or by the iTach over http.  If the flag is set to iTach then the ir
code gets concatenated with some other parameters such as the iTach's
IP address (also defined in the xml) and sent over the network,
otherwise the original functionality remains.  This would allow you to
control any piece of equipment from anywhere using SqueezeIR.

I think an added bonus would be that it would work with desktop
SqueezePlay allowing you to control devices remotely using SqueezeIR
files from your pc!!  Currently SqueezeIR can be loaded onto
SqueezePlay but it's pointless for anything other than debugging as
SqueezeIR cannot access the ir emitter (assuming there is one which is
not usually the case).

Testing may be difficult though as I don't have an iTach and at £150
I'm probably not going to get one anytime soon.

Any thoughts from the wider community?
