If I have something like a Pi or any other small Linux based box (I'm thinking mainly about the cheap Android PC sticks you can get for about £30 with just an HDMI output), would it generally be able to output unencrypted audio over HDMI so that I can break it out using a simple cable[1]?
The Pi has a second audio output of a 3.5mm jack, problem solved, game over, etc. (I use mine primarily as a "hifi" and have it plugged in to a set of cheap but reasonable Wharfdale 2.1 PC speakers).
Though the quality of the Pi's audio output is not very well thought of in general is it? For casual listening around the house I'm sure it's fine but I wouldn't want to use it to drive 'serious' HiFi.
If you're already throwing lossy mp3s at it, you're probably not going to hear a difference, it's plenty good enough for my porpoises.
Nearly all my music is FLAC. :-)
