Thanks. No to answer your question its not that simple. The device has the level line audio "turned off" and no signal is sent to the line out dock unless something is switched and the signal is sent to the device that allows the signal to flow to the dock. In this case we are talking shorting certain pins on one another and the use of resistors for other pins. That information was what I was looking for.
The ipod is like what you mentioned, you just wire up the corresponding Left pin, Right pin and Ground and boom your sending the signal to your amp. Not so with most all other players. If you wire up the L, R and ground you get nada.
