A number of people have asked about this in the past but it was never
the way SqueezeIR was intended to work.  Although it -could- be done
there could be problems.  Imagine the scenario;
You press play on the controller
The controller sends the signal to SBS
SBS sends the signal to the player and the player starts
The player sends a signal back to SBS saying 'I am playing'
SBS sends the signal back to the Controller
The controller updates the player status
SqueezeIR detects the change in player status and sends an IR code

Admittedly I'm not 100% that the above is correct but even so;
1) If during the Controller-SBS-player conversation you move so that
the controller isn't pointing at the amp then the IR signal is lost.
2) You miss the first few seconds of your music while your amp warms
up.

Not necessarily.  I have used SqueezeIR to remap the Home button.  When
I hold it down instead of turning off the controller (the default
behaviour) it turns my amp on and sets it to the correct input. 
Turning on my amp is now only a button-press away and it doesn't matter
which screen I am in.  IMHO this is the best way to do it.
