I have a PS3 that I only use the HDMI to connect to my TV and I have audio questions:

1) Can I get surround sound by using an optical cable to my receiver and still output the audio to the TV via HDMI. Sometimes I need to keep the volume low in the house.

2) What audio is outputed through the optical cable with the PS3 using Blu-ray disks?

3) Does the PS3 output HD audio sources with the HDMI cable and should I just get and receiver with HDMI?

4) Can you enjoy DTS HD or Dolby trueHD with a PS3 as your Blu-ray player?

As you can tell, I am confused as to how to get the best audio now that I have the best video.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
