The 360 supports various audio formats through an optical output (TOSLink) Dolby 5.1, DTS, LPCM, DPLII to name a few. Games offer 5.1 audio only as DTS and othr codecs would require to much processing power.
Movies on the other hand would offer DTS or DPLII. Because movies do not require as much processing, the use of higher quality audio codecs can be used.
And most people seem to forget, the 360 will handle all of the processing regarding HD DVD. The drive its self will stream the content to the 360, which processes it and then audio and video are delivered to your TV set and Audio reciever.
