Idea: Use headphone output as a remote control (infrared: control TV, stereo, etc)

This might have been suggested before, if so - ignore it ;)

The idea is simply to use the (stereo) mini jack sound output of the
Neo to control two infrared leds, in order to control whatever device
that can be controlled by a remote control. Why two leds and stereo? I
guess this is required in order to reach the high frequency
conventional remote controls use.

Does anyone know if this would be possible with the sound module in the Neo1973?

Maybe an idea for the "Neo extras" store?

best regards,
looking forward to whatever-date-in-february
