You're probably better off focusing on the SqueezePlay code that runs
on Touch -- on patching it so that Touch treats those codes
differently. With its 100% server/LMS focus, KidsPlay is at a real
disadvantage for Touch and Radio. First, those devices will often take
some local action that KidsPlay, at best, can reverse. For instance,
Radio's preset buttons would turn the device on and then send a command
to LMS. Anyone who wanted his Radio to remain in its old power state
when a preset button triggered a KidsPlay action was out of luck.
Second, since the local behavior can change w/ new firmware releases,
it's a hassle to make server-side KP know what it might need to do.

Good luck.
