I suppose the cable-tv connector has audio inputs but I take it's already
in use. What kind of connector is it anyway?

My cheap TV has one antenna and one scart connector. Fortunately I don't
have any external boxes so I can use the scart for my computer. I think
most european TVs sold today have two scart connectors.

True.

Most video players just drop video frames to maintain the sync. Audio
resampling would be a somewhat nicer method if the input and output
framerates are close enough.
