Default Audio help, Optical splitter and PS3 PCM?
I have a soundbar with 1 optical audio input and two red/white audio inputs.

I have two devices with optical audio outputs (TV, PS3). Neither device has red/white audio outputs.

What is the best way to connect both the PS3 and TV to my soundbar? Currently I can only have one connected at a time. Should I get an optical audio switch or should I try and get a converter that converts optical audio to component audio?

Can the PS3 do PCM over optical audio? The soundbar only takes PCM over optical audio input.

Is this what i need?

I would just get a TOSLINK splitter as that will be the cheapest.

Component is only for video. The red and white are stereo RCA connectors.

TOSLINK is only capable of 2 channel PCM and only HDMI allows for 7.1 LPCM.
