Earlier versions of HDMI, such as HDMI 1.1, support PCM audio, where the player decodes the audio and transmits it losslessly as PCM over HDMI to the receiver. Some receivers and players support analog surround sound, and the player can decode the audio, and transmit it to the receiver as analog audio. Most receivers and players support S/PDIF.

It offers an advantage when you can't reconfigure the router/firewall (for example in case it is on the Internet service provider's side), but is a serious security risk (unless the traffic is end-to-end encrypted), because ...
Since most VoIP codecs are designed only to carry speech signals, successful modem-over-VoIP operation generally requires the use of G.711 coding on the VoIP audio link, emulating the channel capabilities of a digital PSTN connection. [1] ITU-T V.152 describes one way of implementing G.711 passthrough.
