My Acer Aspire One has the card connections and a standard svga connection
out.

As far as playing is concerned, is the sound synchronized with the images,
or is it simply background music?

I believe VLC can be set up to auto start.  You can put the play list into
continuous mode for Movies or Audio.

As far as slide shows are concerned, if you simply set it up to
continuously play music, then used the slide show screen saver I would
guess you would be done.  No need to code anything special to simply show
image files.
