If not you'll need to get to optical somehow. Possibly your TV/projector can output that.
You may need an optical splitter, or an I2S sound card.
However with optical you can't get multichannel PCM. The Pi can transcode to 5.1. AC3 which can be transmitted over optical.
Just looked up the manual of my old receiver and there is no mention of LPCM so I don't know where I got that idea. I thought I remembered seeing it as an option when browsing through the amps OSD menu. Its irrelevant now seeing as the amp doesn't look like it supports LPCM but my 4x2 Matrix switch can output HDMI audio via an optical output. I'm happy enough with AC3 and DTS core from the ISO's though. Forgive me for interrupting the thread.
