The digital interface on ipod accessories is heavily encrypted.  I doubt it is possible for anything but Apple software to use it.

It's mostly 'just' a matter of paying apple for the 'right' to buy the Digital Restrictions Management-chip and use their key .
There aught to be Laws against abusing encryption to harm consumers choices !

@ OP :
No, the i20 will only work with the hardware they list as supported, running apple's firmware .
You need to choose what is most important for you, FLAC-support or digital out .
ALAC isn't 'bad-sounding' either, it's just annoying to have to convert everything :)

Not really an option for Rockbox, though.
