Well despite advice to the contrary I have,
black / common soldered to body/shank1
white / Left channel soldered to shank2
Red / Right channel soldered to tip
and it's working OK as far as I can tell, that is right and left balance fade left and right, but I cannot tell for absolute sure that I have, left output channel to left imput channel right output channel to right imput channel It just sounds OK
How can I check up to make sure.
I've made a few of those Mini-jack to RCA type leads and you've got it the correct way around.
If you'd gotten it wrong all that would have happened is left and right channels would be reversed. Black is ground, white is left and red is right.
This type of connector is called a Tip,Ring,Sleeve (TRS) connector for obvious reasons.
Incedently, when you make cable for use outside of the computer the shank or sleeve,which is connected to the body of the plug or socket is always ground unless your making some esoteric professional style cable like a balanced XLR. It still sort of is even then ;-)

Thanks very much Jamie, I recognise your description to match the type of audio jack plug we use here in UK.
I'm just going to finish soldering and close the jackplug unless anyone fells I've got it wrong.
Incidentally I noticed for the first time that the other end of the cable , the mobo end , has a numbering system to 4 prongs 1 to 4 and that the plug has the same numbering on it so it would seem important to get it back the right way round, ie 1 to 4 matching each other.
