Absolutely. Mini-din adapters to stereo RCA cords are available at
various places, including RadioShack.

As to USB Sound output, I happened to hook up a pair of sounds sticks
(and sub woofer) to my Titanium the other day. I then pulled the sounds
sticks off, plugged the sub outputs (for the sticks) into my regular
stereo system, and then played a quicktime movie of the Lord of the
Rings (Two Towers) trailer off my Titanium. Sound was FANSTASTIC.

I don't know how much power the SoundStick/SubWoofer draws, but I'd
consider a similar arrangement in my Westy anyday. The Titanium's 15"
screen is bright (and widescreen format) and it doesn't draw that much
power. It makes a handy DVD player (if a bit pricey).

This was an 800Mhz Titanium, though the 500Mhz ones should be just as
good.
