The new lightning adapter says video and iPod out not supported. Then what is supported?

One example of a supported item is probably a 30-pin connector that goes to an auto power supply. So you could, for example, use an older cable that went from a car cigarette lighter receptacle to a 30-pin connector, and plug the 30-pin connector to the lightning cable, and then to a new iPhone or iPod.

Yea, but is it going to play the music from the iphone with the adapter if its on a 30-pin dock thats analouge? Or does it just have to be digital? In a car it plays digital so the connector would work to play the audio, but what about on an analouge dock? Yes, iPod out isnt supported so you would have to use the iPhone as the controls instead of the unit that its docked to, but will it play the audio on everything you stick that adapter to? No one knows yet. Which brings up the question, why would apple make the adapter if it didnt play the audio on whatever you plug that adapter into if it wasnt going ot work? In the presentation they say "It works like you expect it to work." That to me says, if i plug in my adapter to my alarm clock that has a 30-pin dock on it, then it will continure to play my music like it always has. Right?😕

Here's an article I just saw that may help clarify:

Thanks! I read that already too. Basically its going to be hit or miss. Some may work, some may not. UGH! Also, this link below shows the phone being connected to a car and they say "It will work as you would expect it to work." That tells me that it should work when plug that adapter into my dock and boom its going to play my music. Could care less about where the control function takes place. I just want it to play as Im sure millions of other people do! But no one can confirm that.

Good news! Apple updated their description!

Overview

This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Support for analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.

Yes but the bad news, as i understand it, is that there is no iPod controller capability in the adapter. So you will not be able to change songs from your car steering wheel, for example.

Does anyone know how this affects things like the iHome "app enhanced" alarmclock?
