My question basically is... can an optical digital cable also carry, non digital analog sound? Or, once I buy the new cable, will I still need to keep the old composite cables hooked up?

Note that it's possible to transmit digital audio via coaxial cables (the same type of cables that your using right now). Check your PC for a coaxial SPDIF output as a receiver for an input.
