I've not done this personally, though I feed my Xbox->optical->coax
converter -
> 8m screened cable (retired from svideo feed by KAT5 units)
->coax->Optical 
converter-> amp, 
and Phil H. can probalby point you towards the URL of a guy who ran 5.1
over a 
wire coat hanger with 100% error free transmission, so it's highly likely
it 
will be fine.
There was some talk a while back of being able to (in theory) run 5.1 over
one 
of the video channels on a KAT5 unit, without interfering with the video
signal, but I don't know if anyone actually got around to trying
it......
