Not really. Light transitions travel just as well through plastic as
"glass" over a few meters. And - to make toslink work  - it really
doesn't have to travel all that well. One of my best friends owns a
company that actually makes fibre... It has to handle WAY more
bandwidth than Toslink..
The real "problem" with toslink/optical are the transition points from
cable to opto-isolator/driver. 
There really (almost) isn't such a thing as a "crappy" plastic cable -
but there are badly finished ends that scatter...and poorly fitting
connectors.
Anyway, this is way OT now!
