I've just discovered that if I set VLC to use ALSA, it'll detect the digital output on the dock and use it. VLC's volume control then works, but the main system control does not. PulseAudio also does not work, but in all cases using the laptop's internal speaker, then plugging into the dock audio out mutes the internal speaker. I haven't checked if plugging into the dock shuts off the laptop's headphone output, though.
