Okay, here's another issue:

The audio jack in the Gbox is labeled SPDIF but it looks like a regular AV jack. To make matters worse, I have a really old amp that only takes RCA inputs. I don't think it will work if I do just an AV to RCA (I've tried this with an AV to a red/white/yellow RCA cord, and it produces audio fuzz over the speakers and no sound, which might be a result of the yellow video cord in there and not being connected to anything, don't know).

So I'm trying to figure out the easiest/cheapest way to get my GBOX hooked to my crappy home stereo. Do I need to go AV->SPDIF->converter->RCA?

Should I just go buy a new home stereo?:P
