For all those people who have a Blu-Ray player, can you use HDMI to output video while having the the audio outputted optical?

The reason is that my HDTV does not have HDMI, butdoes have a DVI port with HDCP support. I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter. I know that HDMI carrys audio too. But i wana output standard Dolby Digital 5.1 via optical cable to my el-cheapo Home Theater system.

i am pretty sure it should do that, but i wana make sure.
