I just pump the two analoge channels directly to my amp? Except that

You can get firewire enabled amps. {Av, surround, etc} There may be a decoder
of some sort.
I think direct digital decoding is still preferable to
any exotic
solution such as 'network sound' or sound somehow pumped through a
firewire port to somewhere (although sadly my amp doesn't have a
firewire port either. It would be cool if it did though) though some
kind of complex arrangement.
This would be networked digital. You could even do video with it.
I am sure a 'conventional' arrangement should
be possible. The question
is, as it was before, how?
