The PS3 can only output audio via one method at a time (e.g. HDMI or optical or AV cable), but it doesn't have to be the same output as the video - you can have video out via HDMI and audio out via optical or AV.

S/PDIF is the overall name for the digital audio interface standard, whether coax cable with RCA (phono) jacks is used or optical cable with TOSLINK connectors is used.

What model is your TV, and how old is it?
If it is a genuine "HD Ready" TV then it *must* be HDCP compliant over HDMI or DVI.
Re. the actual problem -
If your TV only has DVI, then (like with your BT Vision box) you need a
separate audio connection for the PS3. The HDMI from the PS3 cannot carry audio to the TV's DVI socket as DVI is video only.
The audio socket on the TV which the BT Vision box is connected to is the specific audio input for the DVI "channel" on the TV I assume? This is why you have BT Vision sound via the TV's DVI "channel" when you've switched the HDMI splitter from BT Vision to PS3... the audio associated with the DVI input is still the audio from the BT Vision, as the PS3's audio is going nowhere.
What kind of socket(s) for audio does the TV have that is associated with the DVI socket? Single 3.5mm stereo, or separate phono sockets?
Try using the PS3's AV cable again & connect the two stereo audio phono jacks (red & white) to the TV instead of the BT Vision's audio - i.e. connect to the relevant audio input for the DVI socket, rather than the TV's other AV input.
Then set the PS3 to output audio over the AV lead instead of HDMI.
You could get an audio switch box so that you can switch from BT Vision audio to PS3 audio & vice versa. Maplin etc. would do them.
