[mythtv-users] How do you send TV-Out audio to the sound card?

I found this yesterday while musing over the same problem, and it raises
some other questions for me.

Presumably the reason for this workaround is once the mpeg2 stream is fed 
into the decoder, what comes out the other end goes straight out of the
output leads and the audio can't be rerouted?

So, firstly, what about AC3 (dolby 5.1) sound on DVDs, by running this
though the MPEG2 decoder on the 350 do you lose this feature of the DVD?

Also are there sync issues by routing the audio back though the sound card?

Is there a planned hack to the ivtv driver (OT here I know, but you might
know) to syphon off the audio stream post mpeg2 decoding?

I'm a little unsure of the inner workings here so any info on the problem
would be appreciated.
