Hi, I used the Front Row Enabler (do a google search 😉 ). Front row itself can be downloaded from the Apple site.

Apple sells these nice adapters from the DVI port to component (yellow wire). Then you add a headphone jack to 2 components wires (red and white). Now add to that a component to scart converter block and tadaaa: you’ve got it connected.

I must admit, in the future I will move the audio off the tv and into some dedicated speakers.
