I don’t prefer an extractor. It was merely a “FYI” post to let you know what you could expect from them. :) The Toslink, since that option is available, is actually better because it doesn’t require extra hardware.

I’ve experimented with a number of these. They will indeed get you 2-channel audio via RCA jacks. The only problem with them is that the extraction process blows out the 5.1 signal on the HDMI output connection, and stereo is what you get there, too. Perhaps that’s what people were saying...
