I am not an expert on it, but I think it is stereo only (Surround information (if present) is encoded in the stereo stream, i.e. AC3, Dolby Digital).

The digital audio stream passes out from either the coaxial or optical outputs. The digital audio data stream can be mono, stereo, dolby digital 5.1, whatever...
