I assume No work can be started on this until we have metioned connectors?

I would see no reason to modify the gigabeat.
If we want to create a standardized product then we should establish exactly which connections we want this docking station to present.
Although, if we really want to discuss this issue I would suggest starting a new topic as this one claims to be about Mpegplayer.

So the "line out" jack would serve as a port for the AV cables, if indeed it is possible. Now im not a programer, so how would the USB host function work?
gnu:
The USB host function would work like this:
Gigabeat -> connector (2x Data, +5VCC, Ground) -> usb plug -> usb device (e.g. memory stick).
But since there are no USB drivers for Rockbox, it wouldn't make much sense.
Avid:
Is there anyone currently working/thinking for working on this project?
Chronon:
What connections seem worthwhile for such a dock? We have no access to line in -- which, according to my understanding, is what prevents recording on the Gigabeats. We can connect to line-out and provide a connection to the USB port for the Gigabeat to act as a device (not host). Power, obviously. . . But this just starts to sound like the stock cradle that came with the device. What other functionality can we gain?
toffe:
look here for the project on the dock

Come on the irc channel #gigabeat on freenode to speak about it.
And help us to find the connector so we can build our own :)
