Isn't that essentially the same as hooking up a digital optical cable from the BD player to the receiver though? Doesn't really matter to me what device the sound is played on (I have the digital optical cable for the BD player to the Video 1 portion of the receiver now).

Still doesn't allow TrueHD or DTS-HD though. This is what I was trying to achieve by using HDMI for those discs that have this type of audio output.
