Best quality option video and audio from single hdmi output on blu-ray player?

I would like to connect my blu-ray Samsung BD-P1600 (single HDMI output) to my Vizio HDTV directly via hdmi to get the improved video processing vs. my receiver (Pioneer 919) while still able to connect via HDMI to get true hd audio on my receiver. I see all kinds of hdmi splitters but they seem to be for some other purpose (ie connecting single video source to 2 tv's). Would these work (well) to get audio on my receiver and video on my tv? Is there another solution other than using optical for audio?
