Regardless whether it does or does not fit Mac mini's marketing profile, I think it's a shame that there's no digital audio output, because otherwise the Mini would have been an awesome for use as a media player driving a video projector in a home theater. It's got it all; it's small, pretty, quiet, reasonably powerful and it's got a high-quality video output.
Imagine it coupled with a projector, cordless desktop and a Linux-based fileserver in another room...
(There probably are USB-addon solutions to this problem though, haven't checked yet)
