It's something the Ipods don't have the necessary hardware for, and I suspect no Ipod will ever have.

Assuming he means the 6g, it can do USB audio out, but I doubt it will be possible to talk to apple accessories given there encryption. Using it with android accessories might be possible someday.

I think its a safe bet that won't happen soon. Get an android phone if you want to use USB audio.

...its the video one anyway...

So, ...a 5G then?
(hint: You can check this easily by simply Googling your serial number)

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.
