Is this true, are there no cards on the market that can output via
coaxial or optical to allow 5.1 surround sound in games?

If there is a soundcard with realtime DTS/DD encoding I'm sure it's very
expensive.

I believe the Nvidia Nforce chipset can convert to DD on the fly. It has a
specialized sound processor developed for the Xbox.

Just make sure you use external DACs - the stuff on motherboards is
always cheap crap.
