Yes!!

Bad form to reply to my own post, but good form to report the
solution, I hope.

UKP 11.75 for a cable, and it was wired upside down and back to
front!

It was:

Should have been, and now is:

        (L-R) red-screen-black

unless anyone knows better. 

Anyway it's working now. It's working so well that once I've started
it playing in Windows using either Media Player or Adaptec CD Player
it carries on playing in DOS after exiting Windows as long as I
don't close down the Player before exiting. Is this normal? This is
a bonus that I wasn't expecting! I wondered whether I would be able
to get it to play audio in DOS.

I was surprised not to find audio pinouts in the FAQ. Does nobody
else have problems with them?
