All HD-DVD and Blu-ray players will have to decode DD+, DTS-HD, and Dolby TrueHD internally as long as HDMI 1.3 available (and they'll probably need to decode internally for a long time afterward, since it will take years for HDMI 1.3 at the processor/receiver level to spread through the user base). Most or all players will also convert the PCM output of those decoders to analog. The obvious (and possibly) only exception to the "analog audio output" rule is Sony's PS3, which will output DD and DTS across optical digital and will presumably output 7.1 PCM across HDMI; dedicated Blu-ray and HD-DVD players will need to offer the analog output for the first generation or two to support the huge userbase of non-HDMI receivers and processors.
