Yeah, I second that. Beware of trying this on
very small 'minimal' boards. The reliable solution
I have used time and again is mini ITX, VIA or Intel
with a stock Debian net install.
For video, you can put X on, along with ssh, and
then use ssh -X to open a remote display, and then
use the board as a headless sound engine.
