Hi All,
FWIW I finally got the tracker Milkytracker working well on my $35 Raspberry Pi computer.
It seems to work really well and the audio stream works through both HDMI and the 1/8" stereo plug.
This seems like the cheapest way to get going on tracking (chiptune or otherwise), considering the Raspberry Pi is $35 and you can use an old SD Card, Mouse and Keyboard. I assume everyone has a monitor of some sort.

If you are going to do to give this a shot, here's what I did
-Install the latest bios
-Use the Debain 'Wheezy' distribution
-Run Milkytracker via "nice -10" to give it the CPU it needs on this weeny little computer
-Install/use alsamixer and use it to make sure the audio levels are adequate
Later,
