Actually, the mini displayport is quite versatile, if a little annoying.
It's versatile because you can get adapters to give you VGA, DVI _and_ HDMI. It's annoying because you have to shell out for them -- at Apple prices that would be an extra sixty quid. I got two of the three for less than £20 off ebay. Displayport (and mini-displayport) is a vesa standard so it's not as though you're trusting to some reverse-engineered knock-off.
I don't know if the white macbook is the same as the new macbook pro, but the latter does audio over the HDMI as well.
