Probably just a connector-converter cable... Mine is:
rca-shield - rca-shield - top jack connector
rca-white-center - bottom jack connector
rca-red-center - center jack connector

And I'll have you know I had to dissasemble my Amiga's wiring to get
to this.  (there, it converts the Amiga's RCA audio out, with a gender
bender, to the mini-jack so I could hook up a set of PC powered
speakers.  There is also another one converting a Linux box's
mini-jack to RCA so it can be hooked into my stereo system.)

Used to also be able to get this in a little (~ 1" long) adaptor from
Radio Shack.  Don't know if they still have'em or not.
