Feature Request: Remote control Pause/Resume?

I love that I can use my Roku TV remote for the connected Arc soundbar to turn up/down volume or mute, but why are those the only 3 buttons mapped to use? I get that fwd/back buttons for next/prev playlist track skipping might not be as straightforward as it seems due to variations in TV remotes, but play button is pretty ubiquitous and it feels like a no brainer that it should be mapped to pause/resume playing music alongside existing volume controls.

I have a Flic Twist, linked to the Sonos Room, which can be set up to do this.  Twist for Volume and push button for pause.

I’m not sure any TV remotes will be able to send the appropriate command to sonos via HDMI/CEC
