I used to run 5.1 analog out of my HD DVD and BD players until I upgraded the receiver recently. Really not much difference other than simplicity with wiring. You can buy a mechanical switch made by Philips to allow switching between the 5.1 sources, I actually have one collecting dust you can have, just pay for the shipping.

Could you technically just run seperate Y connectors between the connector, making sure you only sent a signal down one source at a time?

I don't think you can, I think I remember reading that you can't do it that way because say for example you are outputting from your blu-ray player will be inputting into the outputs of your other player, which apparently can wreck it.
