Okay, already implemented and released: v128 (an hour ago, but the BBS crashed in the interim..).

[hijack]
extmute_on=xxxxxxxx
extmute_offf=yyyyyyyy


[ir_translate]
xxxxxxxx.H=ppppppppp
yyyyyyyy.H=wwwwwwwww
xxxxxxxx=zzzzzzzzz,qqqqqqqqq,tttttttt
yyyyyyyy=wwwwwwww.L,llllllll

If you don't want the mute being sent to the player software, just disable it with the checkbox in Emplode (or edit config.ini).

If you DO want the mute sent under some conditions, just include a MUTE button in the ir_translation. You can also use the .S (shift) state to "remember" a mode setting..
