	I'm thinking of getting a 5.1 sound system for my iMac because I'm tired of playing my PS3 in just stereo sound. For the audio passthrough, I've been using LineIn to get the PS3 audio to play on my computer speakers. I'm wondering if LineIn supports surround sound, or will I just get stereo sound again? My PS3 is hooked up to my iMac via optical audio in, I have the Firewave external sound card for my iMac, and I'm thinking of getting the Logitech X-540 speaker system. Will I get true surround sound from my PS3?
