I have a 3 pin cdrom audio cable with a red, white, and black wire on it...what is each wire for? I was thinking of splicing the cable, hooking it up to a 1/8 stereo jack and using it as an extra audio input...is that possible?

LOL...good guess and BTW you don't need to hook them up as were in digital mode 😉
 
red is right, white is left, black is ground. the other black is ground, or is missing. you may blow the sound card.

I splied my sound card cable in half and made 2 external sound inputs for RCA Inputs. I can plug in my video game consoles into my TV Card and use the Left & Right sound inputs like a TV. Heres a picture of mine

FYI You don't really need those connectors nowadays as everything can be done via the IDE bus.
