okay .. so i did "Enable HDMI & Optical Audio" .. when xbmc starts up .. i don't get the startup sound .. nor do i get skin's nav sounds .. and when i started up a movie i got no audio and xbmc through up a message .. failed to initialize sound
umm ... don't know how relevent this is but during install i told the script to use that "special" also instead of the default karmic one .. also, at the moment i'm connected to my tv via HDMI for both audio & video .. tomorrow i'm gonna move the box to another tv where i prefer to hook up the htpc via hdmi to tv for video and optical to receiver for audio thats why i want this to work

Just did the "Enable HDMI audio" .. it restarted xbmc .. i got startup sound, nav sounds, and sounds during video playback .. however as i noted above, i REALLY would prefer to get the sound pumping out via the optical, not the hdmi
