My server generates bitmaps (quite small ones for a Classic) and sends
them down as grfe commands. That gets used in all sorts of ways,
everything from date/time/weather to, of course, navigating the song
catalog. It's not my preferred way to pick songs - I have a separate GUI
that runs on my laptop for that - but it's how my wife picks songs,
adjusts volume, etc. So I will need to implement that. Since it doesn't
look like squeezelite implements the grfe command, I'll just write
something to run on the pi, send it those messages, and handle the
display separately. Since any display I plug into the pi will have more
available pixels than the classic did, it;'s a chance to display extra
information anyway.

I assume squeezelite can read signals from an attached IR device and
ship them to the server in the same way the Classic did, in which case
my server will see them and do what's needed.

Yeah. This will become my next project. Kudos to whoever came up with
squeezelite, as if this works it's going to save me hundreds of dollars
and hours.
