I actually have a decoder box which will only work in 'analogue' mode (no optical, no coaxial etc.) and it does decode all 5.1 channels, but the 2 front and 2 rear channels have shed loads of digital noise... a bit like an old computer doing random bleeps is my best description, but it is a good 200% LOUDER than the signal for that channel!
So, at the moment it's a 1.1 decoder. Center & Sub.
