As to the decoding it depends on your settings, if you select the receiver to do all the work it will probably extract the compatible audio. Otherwise the player will do it.

I use both types of cables to my Yamaha receiver without any issues.

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! So no issues with a digital optical cable then! My issue will be the player... I'll have to check the settings... it might be LPCM only (it's an old player)...

-update: It's a Samsung with PCM... and Bitstream (Re-encode DTS), and Bitstream (Audiophile)... so either Bitstream should do the 5.1 job! Yay!
