Are you sure you're only getting stereo? SPIDIF comes across as two
encoded channels which are then decoded into 5.1 by the audio
processor (usually receiver). I can get 5.1 out of my Westinghouse 32
(piped through either my Sony HT-IS100 or my STR-DA4400ES) as well as
a couple of Sony Bravia's here at work through various Sony equipment
(sound bar, receivers, etc.)
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure I used to run HDMI from my PS3
to my Westinghouse 42", then SPIDIF out to a Pioneer receiver with no
issues, either.
