Does it come with a sound chip?

Yes, output to 1/8" jack (or over HDMI) but no input without e.g. using
USB.


Ooo. Just thought of another use with the addition of a USB DSAT or
DDTV dongle. An off air digital radio receiver so one doesn't need
the telly on. Controlable over its ethernet port via a web interface
(one assumes the linux it comes with has a web server?). This could
be expanded to an internet radio as well if one wasn't worried about
gobbling up (possibly expensive) internet bandwidth.

no FLASH plugins - so no web radio IIRC.

Cos most Beeb content is flash,. Makes a good ON AIR RX with a dongle
tho. Has it got sound?


And TV.

Except you need a [more expensive than a TV] monitor..
