I don't think so - RGB doesn't carry audio, and that would do you no good. RCA plugs carry video (typically the yellow headed plug) and L/R audio (the white/red plugs), which is what that cable surely has. RGB plugs?

To make it work you need to plug the red into the yellow and the yellow into the red, and white to white (at least if I recall correctly) Switching the two colours is not apple being greedy it needs to be that way to make regular 3 pole headphone jacks still work in the same socket :) You can use any 4 pole to RGB cable, like say the one that comes with a DV camera or one that will cost you around 5 bucks from your local electronics store.
