Unless it specifically says it will convert to PCM, the optical output will probably just serve as a pass-thru of what the Motorola box outputs. You might want to call monoprice and see if they can help you with this.
I have a similar monoprice box -- an HDMI to coax/optical converter (aka HDMI de-embedder) -- and when it's fed Dolby Digital via HDMI, the optical output will be either 5.1 Dolby Digital or 2.0 Dolby Digital (there's a switch). I tested mine last night just in case it could be used to convert Dolby Digital to PCM, but the DAC I tested it with couldn't lock onto the signal, even in 2.0 mode (so it doesn't convert Dolby Digital to PCM). I actually use the box to convert PCM from a tablet's HDMI output to an optical output to feed a DAC for a headphone amp.
