How do you plug a Mac mini into an optical audio port on your receiver?

Apple says the Mac mini has a "Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack)" - the hold is a regular headphone jack - how do you get optical, 5.1 sound out of there and into a receiver?

You need Toslink Optical Audio Cable with 3.5mm jack from XtremeMac.

I can only find the link from Amazon UK.

in the back of the 3.5mm jack there is an optical plug, if you have a toslink optical cable (ends are squarish) all you need is an adapter.
