Does anyone know if the PS3 outputs the bitstream through the Digital Audio jack?

After so many cables I'm not going to be an HDMI nazi and stomp my feet at having to have 2 cables leave the PS3 to give me Great picture And sound, and I honestly haven't gone to research it yet cause it's not that big of an issue, but if someone knows that's great.]]>Jan 6th 2008 5:36PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/
It's also debatable (and probably depends on the receiver) whether you even need bitstream output if the PS3 converts to high resolution PCM audio through HDMI. It then comes down to what has the better mathmatical conversion (the PS3 or the receiver, but keep in mind that we are talking about mathmatical algorithms here, as we're taking digital conversion - i.e. it's not like comparing analog components where more expensive is usually better).]]>Jan 9th 2008 2:20AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/
Seems odd to "release" the BD-UP5000 then have it's predecessor come out a few months later...]]>Jan 6th 2008 6:11PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/
Nice.]]>Jan 6th 2008 6:21PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/Jan 6th 2008 6:59PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/01/06/samsung-intros-bd-p1500-blu-ray-player-bd-up5500-combo-player/
I've been told that hardware requirements (memory as well as ethernet connectivity) for HD DVD would satisfy those of Profile 2.0 and that it should be possible to upgrade either the 5000 or 5500 to it. But has Samsung ever stated that will support a firmware upgrade to 2.0 when the standard is finalized (and assuming no changes hardware requirements)?
