For the PS3, the lossless audio codecs are decompressed (ie, decoded) internally and output as multichannel PCM via HDMI or 2-channel PCM via the optical output and the D/Aed analog output.
There are a few people who still cling to the notion that the PS3 will be firmware updated to output the lossless audio codecs as bitstream (uncompressed, undecode), but that's not going to happen. The HDMI chip used in the PS3 is hardware, not software, limited in the sense that it cannot bitstream the advanced audio codecs. To do this would be like converting a gasoline car to a hybrid through a firmware update via the car's on-board computer system.
