FWIW I have one of these as my XBMC machine, plugged in over HDMI and
also using the optical out to my AV amplifier.
Audio out on either/both of these "just work" using the newest openelec
build or generic xbmc on top of another distro (although I've stuck with
openelec now, it's a single-purpose box)
what are these supposed audio problems? I've never had any.

ditto, MySQL and NFS on an HP microserver for me, streamed over 300M
powerline adapters. Getting the external DB up and running in openelec
requires a bit of cmdline-fu but that's not particularly difficult and
there are entries on the XBMC wiki on how to achieve it.
