Hi, this is a very basic question, but: I need a 3.5mm plug on an Audio Adapter Rev D, to upgrade an existing system (an R2 unit). All the existing audio uses 3.5mm plugs and I'm just trying to replace the old sound generator with one based on the 4.1 and the Rev D.
(None of that is my work, but if you want to see what folks have done with your hardware, here's the project:

Anyway, after overthinking this for a while it was suggested to just solder a 3.5mm plug onto the Line Out through-holes. Something like this:
My only concern is that there are two contacts for each of Left and Right on the Rev D board, and only one wire on this cable. Five wire cables don't seem to exist.
Can I just assume that the extra contact is for functionality I don't need, and leave one open? Should I splice both Left contacts to the left wire? Or is this totally a bad idea?
In that last case, what suggestions do people have for getting a 3.5mm plug (or jack, I could make that work too) onto the Rev D.
Thank you all so much!
