I like the answer "luckymacy" just posted (using separate audio for each listener)
But... if that does not appeal to you... here is a less than elegant .. but cheap and workable... idea
Belkin makes a combo 12vdc charger / audio out adapter. About $30
On one end this is a normal 12 v male lighter plug.. with a stereo mini socket in its side ... on the other end is a flat Ipod connector.
Audio is routed out of the Ipod .. thru the cable... into the stereo mini plug .. from there into your aircraft intercom. Granted... with the size of the lighter plug ... with a stereo mini plug sticking out the side.. the whole thing is large and an unfortunate tangle of wires.
One solution is to neatly bury all the cords and plugs behind the panel ... just bringing out the Ipod power/audio output connector which neatly plugs into the bottom of the Ipod. You now have a connection for stereo audio out and the 12vdc will constantly power the Ipod.
One other thing.... I love the Ipod.. but... if you want to do anything other than "set and forget" ... ie: playing a library of various music - then the Ipod will need to be close so you can see and fiddle with it... this will most certainly be a distraction to your flying.
Be careful what you wish for....
