If you want to output over SPDIF, you first need to decode the HD Audio (which FFDSHOW can do for all with the expection of DTS-HD which will just be the core....not that it matters as you are then encoding as DD to output over SPDIF)

Regular DTS (the core of all the lossless/high res. DTS formats) can be passed through SPDIF as well, so there's no need to encode it to DD/AC3... unless one's receiver is a stone-age no-DTS-having POS. Or am I not understanding what you're getting at?
Daydream:
Let's round it up (assuming AnyDVD-HD present at all times):
- For a disc with a THD track there must be (by specs) a DD 5.1 track. So it's a matter a picking the right track, leave the lossless one alone. At this point any AC3 decoder will work over SPDIF, not necessarily ffdshow. The problem arises when the language is not the same, so you get an English THD track and a French and Spanish DD 5.1 tracks. Then you need to decode the English THD track, re-encode it on the fly to DD 5.1, then SPDIF. ffdshow will do this.
- For a disc with a DTS-MA track, any DTS decoder (again not necessarily ffdshow) will be able to pick up the DTS (lossy) core and feed it over SPDIF. Don't need to deal with the lossless part of the track.
Should one want the lossless audio (and I can't underline enough how much I agree with jmone to just get the new receiver and be done with it :) ), then ffdshow will bitstream both THD and DTS-MA tracks, with an ATI 5xxx card.
The big problem is when the movie is not in just one (big) .m2ts file, but split around in out-of-order smaller files. Since there is no free parser for the playlist on the Blu-Ray disc that knows what file is what, then we can't do anything about that, short of ripping the movie. Gotta love the industry.

Great summary, daydream! ;D

Greetings:
This is my first post here: excuse me if the answer to my question is elsewhere, and I just can't find it.
My laptop plays BluRay Discs just fine, even though I have an Oppo BDP 83SE as my primary player, and my system outputs bluray in all respects quite well.
I would, however, like to rip 2-channel sound from some of my br discs which are primarily hi-res music with MC (which, by the way, is superb).
Is this do-able?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Steve
