Yeah, a "Y" adapter would be the easiest -- go to Radio Shack and get a
single female to double male RCA Y adapter.  It should make sense when you
see it.

Of course, you'll have to re-capture everything...

Is there a way to alter the balance in iMovie?  Or do a left/right channel
swap?  If so, you could add another audio track, duplicate the clip's audio
and then swap the channels so it's coming out of both speakers (dual mono).
