Look at some of the newer video processors like Gefen and DVDO that accept audio via HDMI and can output concurrently on HDMI and S/PDIF or TOSLINK. [/b]
The DVDO processors won't transcode Hi-Res audio from HDMI through to SPDIF/TosLink, just standard 16bit/44k along with plain-jane DD/DTS. It is my understanding that the bandwidth required by multi-channel Hi-Res digital audio is beyond the capacity of a single SPDIF or TosLink connection.

Happy Trails!
