Yup. No decent speakers too. I'm currently using analog out to my old Pioneer AIO HT system.

Audio

Since we used HDMI we were able to get 5.1 audio out of DVDs, OTA HD and Blu-ray movies. One thing that dissapointed us was that we could not get Dolby True HD or DTS Master Audio out of the Blu-ray discs. We can’t tell if this is an issue with PowerDVD or the Zino. We’ve read on some forums that PowerDVD does not support Dolby True HD. You can get 5.1 out of the Zino without HDMI but you need make sure you upgrade to the ATI Radeon HD 4330. The audio sounded great but we’d expect nothing less with the receiver we were using.

m thinking of using a Mac Mini to play lossless songs and movie. my concern is how to connect the audio to my hifi. coz mac Mini only has a headphone out socket. if we use the headphone to RCA splitter, will it affect the sound quality?

Anyway for those who are interested in building HTPC , I've written a simple guide on using pi as HTPC and as well as configuring XBMC to stream a lot of content
