Xbox 360 + LCD + 5.1

Just bought a 360 today. I want to use it on my 22" Chimei LCD screen, and understand I will need the xbox 360 VGA cord. I can get one from ebay for about 20 bucks. I also want to use it on a crt, so I assume it will work aswell seeing as it is VGA.
Where the problem comes in is my sound. I have a Creative 5200 5.1 system
Can I get 5.1 output from this? Note I am a total noob so " RCA jack this and split that" will confuse me. Any help is appreciated. Whoever helps me will get free cake.

those speakers appear to only have analog 3x stereo mini jacks for audio in.
xbox only supports RCA audio out, hdmi, optical (toslink?), and.... single stereo mini (an adapter for such comes with VGA video cable). but then that'd only be stereo sound. it'd be better than nothing and if the stereo has an upmixing function you might be able to utilize more than just left and right channels
....................... um, so it wouldn't be worth the cost to get a decoder? or something?
set you back around <$299
i havent seen much besides PC sound cards (intergrated or discrete) that output 3x stereo mini. what you COULD do is use a computer in the middle, have the xbox input into the pc and the pc outputs to the speakers via the sound card. some discrete sound cards will have digital in.
