Had a good look at reviews -- do you think this would sit between pi and tv to send off the 5.1 audio to decoder ... or connect straight to tv and then put this device between tv and decoder? Seems to be a suggestion in one of the reviews at least that by using a hdmi arc port out from the tv that anything connected to the tv can effectively have the 5.1 passed through, when normally the tv blocks it for its own optical out...
In theory either should work, but passthrough on ARC channel may or may not work (depends on TV).
Connecting between Pi and TV should be fine, but no harm in trying it both ways.
