Suggestion: take the above (audiophile quality audio) and add the

Whose video would we use?
Yes, that is an issue. AMD CPUs would be preferred, but we could use
Intel and their latest NorthBridge with graphics: 82865G. They don't
have an up-to-date video driver but they do provide full documentation
(unlike ATI and nVidia).
We could put the audio in an internal shielded box with a separate power
supply connected to the mother board only by opto-isolated serial data
links.
Using x86 technology will cost you at least 100$ more. I don't think there is
a need for such power.
But do you know of any other suitable video chip with open documentation?
If less video processing power would do, we could look at the VIA
CoreFusion Processor with built in NorthBridge and either [mark] S3 or
[Luke] their own graphics, or the AMD Geode GX with built in VGA and 2D
acceleration. These are both "embedded" processors so they would not
cost $100 more.
Probably the VIA Luke would be the best:

OTOH, AMD does support Linux on the Geode GX.
