Question about plugging an optical out into a dolby decoder.

I wanted to plug my computer's optical out connection into a receiver with a dolby 5.1 decoder. Would this give me dolby 5.1 sound? My sound card is an ac97 integrated card on my motherboard. It is a crappy card without 5.1 decoder but does have a optical out. I'm not sure if I need a new sound card to get Dolby 5.1 or just plugging the digital connection into an optical out would give it to me. Please post information that you are sure of - I have gotten conflicting answers to this question from my friends. If you could point me to web sites that talk about this that'd be great
Thanks
