Exactly what I was thinking! At the least it needs to be able to control my receiver's volume when watching movies (SPDIF/HDMI) or listening to music.

Why not use a remote terminal client to connect to the HTPC? If necessary, set up the remote session as another zone.
/think mode pause, awaiting input/

I've been doing this for many years now, it will still be faster in response time compared to the solution proposed.
But you can't do anything with the other PC which is what this proposal will supposedly solve ?

If its a windows pc you can also remote desktop and login under a different user. You can still use the pc as normal from a different account. That's how I have set it up.

Windows PC is too generic. With a Windows Server OS you can do multiple RDP sessions. Otherwise you can't, unless you hack the Terminal Server libraries (on XP).
