You'll need a TOSlink to MiniTOSlink cable like this one for $4

When I first set my mini up for home theatre stuff I went to all the usual places like BestBuy, RadioShack and even the Apple store. None of them knew what I was talking about. So you pretty much have to order the cable from your favorite supplier on the web. The one end is the usual square-ish fibre optic connector which fits most home theatre systems. The other end is shaped like a mini headphone jack. The main difference is it's not an electrical connection. There is a small hole in the tip for light to go into and out of. My cable came with little caps to keep dirt from getting into the tips which I kept on until the very moment I plug them into my mini or stereo.

If you want, you can also hook it up to a surround-sound home theater system 
and get all the 5.1 DVD goodness from your mini as well. The headphone jack is 
both an analog audio out and a digital optical out.

Yes it does but, there terrible little things.  You will probably need to plug 
in speakers or use headphones.

Does the mac mini have a built in speaker?
I asked the apple reps at my local apple store, but can't seem to get a strait 
answer.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
