Welcome to the Forum! I may not be able to answer your question authoritatively, but I can guess, and if nothing else, get your thread bumped up. In short, I think you will be fine. I don't think you mean "split" the HDMI signal. If I understand your question, you want to know if you have your DVD hooked to the TV via HDMI will the DVD still be outputting an audio signal via the optical or coaxial connection to your receiver.
I suppose it would depend on the particular dvd player, but my guess is yes, it has to. For instance, my dvd player is connected to my tv via component video and good ol composite audio (stereo red/white). It is also connected to my receiver via an optical cable. I can get audio through my tv's speakers and/or my receiver. The audio signal goes to both simultaneously. Same for my satellite box. It is connected to the tv via component video and composite audio and connected to the receiver via optical. It all works fine.
