"At the DelMar Fair, yesterday, I spoke briefly with a Dish sales guy who was, while sympathetic, no better informed than I. I don't know if it's possible to output 5.1 via optical while maintaining a mere 32k rate."
You are confusing data rate with sampling rate. After reading your posts and based on other (general) knowledge that I have it is virtually certain that the sampling rate output of your Dish Network box on TOSLINK is 32 kHz. I don't know how many bits, but it seems unlikely to be more than 16. The data rate would be the product of the sampling rate, the number of bits per sample, and the number of channels, multiplied by a small overhead factor.
TOSLINK is basically a fiber optic implementation of SPDIF, albeit limited in the higher sampling rates. See the following, which lists 32 kHz as DSR. I had a Proceed DAC back in the early 90's that worked at 32, 44.1 and 48, and the 32 kHz rate was described in the manual for broadcast digital audio.
