Right=red. You might get red & black, same rule. White & black, I'm
guessing left=white. But just haul out an album with hard L/R separation,
like singers in one channel, band in the other. (Sometimes albums from way
back when hadn't got the hang of stereo.) You'll know, if you're familiar
with the album.

Yes, it's pretty standard.

My mic plug is red. The line in jack is (IIRC) blue.
