Many DVD players can decode Dolby Digital or DTS into 5.1 analog signals today. But most people use the one digital connection for DTS and DD movies instead of the 6 analog cables. Likewise, when there's a digital connection for DVD-A and SACD, most people use it. It's more convenient to decode in the receiver. Also, there's no 6 analog cables.
Quote:

With one cable carrying all the information (video and audio in his example), it is going to suck for people who do not want the audio and video to go to the same place

I.link is mostly audio not video. But future versions of HDMI (maybe version 2?) should carry audio and video.
