Unclear.
  • It does have the same number of pins as regular-sized DP.
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort claims:

    Current Mini DisplayPort adaptors do not support audio (although the port itself does)[citation needed].
  • The LCD Cinema Display appears to pass audio through USB, not through mDP, suggesting the port may not support it.
  • displayport.org is still a freaking useless site.
