set to bitstream on teh data channel for the audio settings. Unless your receiver cannot read the audio on the HDMI it should work.

Yes, that will work. Just make sure you change the audio settings in your PS3.

You will have to set your PS3 to output through the optical cable in the settings. You will also have to either set your receiver to the CD channel or, if that doesn't work, go though your receiver's settings and see what channel the optical is set to (or you could just keep changing the channels until you find the one that works).
