Customized Scart Coupler for extracting Audio

This is my first Instructable, and of course I forgot to take step-by-step photos, But I hope you'll get it anyway.

I have way too many scart devices in my house. DVD-player, Network Media Player, VHS video, Wii, etc. and not enough Scart inputs on my TV, (I know, I know... "Why haven't you switched to HDMI yet, loser?") Well, maybe some day, but that's really not what this instructable is about anyway :-)
Of course I budge them all together in a scart switcher, so they all fit into the same scart input on my TV. No biggie, But I also have my surround sound amplifier, which takes 3 different sources of audio input, 1 '5.1' input (which of course is dedicated to my DVD player) and 2 standard stereo inputs (and one of these stereo input is already dedicated to a DAB radio...). This leaves me with just one stereo input that I have to decide on who should get: My Network Media Player, my VHS or my Wii. And I can't. I just can't. So why not get all of these devices to use the same audio input? I already have them using the same scart cable, so What I wanna do is to take the audio from the scart cable and feed it into my Surround amp. Simple, right?

Step 1 What you'll need

You'll need
- 1 Scart Coupler
- 1 Stereo Mini-jack connector
- 3 lengths of wire (too long will make it hard to fit, too short will make it hard to solder)
- Super glue
- Soldering iron
- Soldering tin
- Drill and an 8mm Drill Bit (aint got no idea what that is in inches, so look it up if you need it)
- A set of mini-jack headphones for testing
- 1 additional Scart cable

Good instructable. About to embark on this (or something similar with a 4-way scart adapter). Just wondering, does this modification completely intercept audio going to the TV? i.e. you now need your amp on to hear sound?
