MDP to HMDI for video, and for sound 3.5 mm TRS to RCA I suppose. But the above links should help you find your own answer.
Yup, the MDP adapter to HDMI, and then the 3.5 headphone plug to RCA connector cable is what I use, works like a champ.
Maybe, but we don't know your TV model and if it accepts 3.5 mm audio input. Normally TVs accept RCA analog audio input, like mentioned twice before.
That looks like just what you need. A Mini DVI to HDMI adapter. Even if it says its ready for audio, you still need the other audio cable as the MacBook won't support audio out through the Mini DVI.
It is called "Mini DisplayPort", as "Mini DVI" and "Mini DisplayPort" (MDP) are these:
from Common video interfaces on Macs and the appropriate adapters to connect to other display devices
And as we don't know, if the TV actually supports AUDIO IN via 3.5 mm, we don't know, if that cable even works.
You are correct. I do get confused as to the correct name of the video output port is used on the Macbook. Sorry for the confusion.
