Chromecast, Older Home Theaters and Audio?

It seems to me that a couple of your shows need to look at Chromecast in more detail. I would think that the Home Theater Geeks would be all over the Chromecast and would talk about it in detail in an upcoming show. Also TWIT might cover this issue, and Google This Week.

I looked for a way to get a message to the HTG folks, and this is the best way I could find. Please see that they see this message.

Question: How does the Audio work? And how do I make use of the Audio in my system that may not be the latest cutting edge system. I don't have my Chromecast yet, but I did some testing using a modern BluRay player with my not so new system - My Receiver is 10+ years old.

What I found was that my TV - which is about 6 months old - has Red/White audio out. And that HDMI carries audio from my BluRay player to my TV, and the TV then puts it out on those wires so that I can carry those to my Receiver / Amp. But what about folks with older TVs? Are there any solutions that split off the Audio from HDMI, decode it [I assume it's digital stream] and put it out as a Red/White pair?

If folks are going to use ChromeCast, and they don't have bleeding edge TV / Audio, then what can they do? Older sets have DVI which does not take HDMI directly. What do they do?

Perhaps there are some topics here for some of your shows to discuss around ChromeCast.

Thanks for all the shows. Image may be NSFW.
