USB Audio-Charge-Sync cable?

I've come up dry searching Google, but I thought one of my fellow NAMers might be a better source.

I'm looking for a USB sync cable that provides the same Audio and Charge capabilities that the iPhone kit in my 07 does. I want to be able to plug that into my Mac so that I can use that cable as an audio input from the iPhone. Does anyone know of such a beast?

What kind do you have?
A picture is worth a thousand words.

The only cable you should need for your mac is the standard "Sync Cable" that comes with iPods. Unless you are wanting to do something special like send the audio to a home stereo receiver or something like that.

I have the same factory installed iPod interface cable in that others have gotten from Mini. Doesn't work with the iPhone 3G for charging, BTW. But anyway since this is for my Mac Mini, I'm looking for a cable for that. I don't have one for it at this time that provides an audio input to the Mac. Currently looking at the iMic, but hoping for something a little less... huge.

No, I'm looking to have the iPhone 3G play music, but have the sound come out the speakers attached to the Mac Mini. The input to the Mac Mini is a Line In, not Headphone In, so what I thought would just require a single cable with headphone jacks at each end turned out to be more complicated.
