Is it possible to receive LG simplink signals on PC?

I have an LG TV connected to PC with HDMI, and I want to manage jetaudio with the remote controller of the TV.

I think the TV behaves like a "simplink server" and sends the button press events to the connected devices, so I can handle the button press events with the PC too. But this is just a theory, I haven't found anything yet about simplink in google. :S

I'm doing it using one of these: http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx

So far it understands the main direction keys and the media (play, pause etc) keys.
