What a shame that the optical out on the G5 is going to waste.

I don't know if it's being wasted or not being fully utilized by applications. For instance, what's stopping you from putting an AC-3 encoder in your games to encode the mixed audio prior to handing it to the HAL?

Last I heard, this involved a per-seat licensing cost and a heavy CPU burden, but I don't know how current that info is.

If it's cheap (from a licensing standpoint), cheap (from a CPU standpoint), and there's an AudioUnit that can do the conversion, I'd be more than happy to drop that in the code and be done with it. Is this idea actually doable?
