With reassurances from Logitech support that it would not harm my SB3
(though they warned it might damage my other gear), I've used an RCA
"Y" adapter to merge my L and R analog outs to one mono RCA output.
This feeds a normal mini-stereo, but with only one speaker attached to
the amp output.

If you want to be more cautious, common opinion (not commented on by
Logitech support, nor any of the Slim/Logitech employees who frequent
these forums, unfortunately) seems to be that a stereo-to-mono cable
ought to include some resistors, too (the $5 Chinese-made Radio Shack
adapter I use is a "straight" cable, no resistors**).

I had considered opening a firmware feature enhancement ticket -- since
the decoding is done in software (SlimDSP), the SB3 should be able to
output identical summed mono on both the L and R outputs pretty easily.
But I wasn't sure how widespread this desire was -- how many of us have
single-speaker, Tivoli-like installations because sometimes they make
more sense.

** after my "how to build" post, I bought a new adapter. Unlike my old
one, this new adapter tests as a straight 0-ohm wire.
