The the RCA (coax) audio out runs directly from the computer to the receiver digital coax audio input. That's all there is to it.

i did the same thing for awhile (spdif) and it worked fine. then i looked at the mess that was the wires and wanted to puke. considering you have a ps3 have you consider playing everything off of that. transfer the xvids and converted mkv's into the ps3. also noticed you said you plan on upgrading to an HDMI connection for your htpc next year. seems wasted that you're not playing media off the ps3. i know im off topic but i went through the same thing and just eliminated using the htpc all together.
