The dock port on the ipod has a set of pins that act as a line-level output. This is how these speakers are connecting. Not to mention, there are numerous other adapters that you can buy that give you stereo RCA line-level outs from the dock connector.

Or you can keep the sensible interface and just use Apple Lossless.

No need to make up reasons. The audio pins on the docking port are as analog as the headphone jack. The only thing digital transmitted over the port is artist/album/song information.
