Gigabeat Dock.
toffe:
It seems to be a good component, doesn't need a lot of external component.
We just have to figure out where to connect everything.
Mad Cow:
Having SPDIF with the stock dock would be amazing. I don't really know much about this stuff though. Is it theoretically possible to wire it up using the I2C and I2S signals available to the dock connector?
Chronon:
I think I2S is sufficient for SPDIF. But I'll defer to those with actual experience in this matter.

I think a good start for this would be the schematics on page 64 of the WM8804 datasheet, what do you guys think?

Optical. But having both would be best.
Looking at these schematics gets me (personally) nowhere. There are simply too many assumptions I'd have to make. I have repaired a few pieces of analog gear, but not much in terms of digital. And designing anything like this is totally out of the question for me. :P
Someone that has the knowledge could send me a prototype schematic (complete) and I'd do my very best to try to solder it all together and test it.
Cheers, D. :)

I am in the process of making a simple dock for Gigabeat usage in the car. I purchased an e800 sync cable off of a seller on ebay for $0.99+$7.49 and the connector fits very nicely.
Features I plan on making:
-Cigarette lighter power
-Keep gigabeat charged
-Remote control
-Line out to sound system
-Integrated FM transmitter?
The bulk of the unit will be at the power plug end, with the Gigabeat attached to a longish cable tucked away somewhere.
The only thing I am not sure about is the remote. I like the functionality of the stock remote, is the same pin that the remote normally uses present on the dock connector?
Also, will the line-out pins (5,6) have enough juice to run a cheap FM transmitter?
