I gotta wonder if mass-produced CE fiber optics wouldn't be any more expensive than HDMI connections.

... or DD/DTS chipsets or video decoder chipsets or...

The Toslink hookup is actually easier than the HDMI hookup. I've been doing a lot of this lately since I don't have a Toslink switcher yet (multiple Toslink sources, one Toslink input channel on the pre/pro).

A (high bandwidth) fiber optic connection would still be smaller and lighter than an HDMI cable, you can even hook it up in the dark, just look for the "light splash" from the FO transmitter and plug the cable in.
