MBP to 5.1 Speakers?

Is it possible to connect my Macbook Pro (17in sept '07) to a 5.1 surround system? (and actually get 5.1 audio)

The speakers are Logitech Z-5500 series.

(There's also a basic stereo aux input on the side)
 
Thanks!

And how does the TOSlink connect to the Macbook? EDIT: Got it, seems to just connect to the normal headphone jack.

I've also come across the Griffin Firewave (discontinued). There's a few on eBay, would this be better or worse quality?

Yes, use the optical port. But don't use Quicktime, it's a piece of junk for digital audio. Get Plex or XBMC.
