The ideal situation would be not to have to, but to have simultaneous
analog and digital output. I've seen the occasional email on the list
about some who have managed to get that but it seems very hardware
dependent.
Actually I've been learning a bit about pulseaudio and it actually
shouldn't be that difficult to get simultaneous output for analog and
digital for PCM audio, but AC3/DTS is another story.
