that should answer your question :

HDTVs with HDMI inputs can be connected to ........ [The "Early 2009" models can be connected to an HDMI equipped television by using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter]. . . [To connect audio]

dvi to hdmi will not give you audio

if you already know the length you'd need, a single mini-displayport to hdmi (male-to-male) cable would work (no need for mini-dp adapter + hdmi cable combo):

also keep in mind that the current mac mini does not output sound via the mini-dp, unlike the new macbook pros. sound will still need to transfer from 3.5mm jack (analog/digital) or usb.
