ok, my GPU is a ATI Radeon HD5850 1GB

I've got one 22" screen with DVI input

A new Panasonic TX-P46G30Y TV with HDMI

And planning to buy a new Main Monitor and use the 22" as secondary display.

Now the question, since I'll be needing lots of cable for this setup:

Can I use the two DVI ports on the GPU to power the two monitors and then use an about 15 meter long HDMI cable to connect the TV (for BluRay playback and as Monitor for playing in living room) without any hassles?

Also Audio question.

My Audio card is a Creative xfi Titanium. my Reciever is a NAD T770.

Is it better to connect the audio card to the reciver via Spdif, the optical line, or just normal phono cables?(here will be running several cables for 5.1 surround if going phono) - and will need 15 meter cables as well.

Anyone got their two cents worth to add to this?
All advice appriciated.
