Firewire? ALO cables on TTVJ supports 1/8, RCA, or iPod docks, depending on what you get.

The dock connector on the iPod contains a number of pins, each of which serves a purpose. Some are used by the USB cable to transport data, some are used to carry a line signal out, some to carry a line signal in, etc.

The stuff ALO sells just only uses the line out pins, so you get an audio signal.

And you can't do firewire on anything past 4th gen.
