You can send digital audio through the HDMI port OR the SPDIF port on the PS3.
If you're using the HDMI for audio as well, then the Audio Receiver MUST have HDMI inputs where the video part is passed through to the HDMI out on the receiver and audio part is processed and output through the speakers. If you're using the SPDIF port, then there's no hassle. The AV Receiver should only have an SPDIF input port for digital audio.
Google Sony DDW-5500 and you'll get an idea about a Home Theater system that does NOT have a built in disc player
There's a HUGE market out there who make AV receivers. Check out Denon, Yamaha, etc. Then you have to get matching speakers for them.
Then there are other solutions called HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) that have bundled speakers and receivers. The Sony DDW-5500 is one such example. The Logitech Z-5500 CAN also be classified as an HTIB but they're more closer to high end computer speakers.
