Thanks to all who have responded to this post. All great tips and pointers, and many more practical solutions than I had hoped.

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.

ah ok, then I'd say get a dual core atom mini-itx with an nvidia pci express card
ah ok. Well, in that case I'd discourage you from going smaller. The via linux drivers blow ... utterly. I could not get the unichorme graphics driver to work correctly in Ubuntu and gave up. The win drivers work, but the machines are probably not going to be fast enough versus something with a dedicated gpu.
For audio only, it works.
