It's called a S/PDIF Output, it's digital audio output. It isn't for old school Audio or Video, just primarily used when you connect your console to an AV Receiver/Amplifier. Because I haven't heard of a 5.1/7.1 TV yet. Some AV Receiver/Amplifiers don't allow for audio input on HDMI input because it's meant as a video only input/output on the receiver/amplifier.
SPDIF is the primary audio interconnect for most other audio only stereo components.
