Trust me, there isn't! The sound-vision spacing can only have certain values and 3.5 isn't one of them! You could put an external audio subcarrier into the MC44BS373CA in the 20-pin version. Except the 20-pin version is unobtainable.

In the audio stage you don't need a tandem pot.

The problem with your circuit with the stereo mix to mono directly on the input, is if the source device (in my case a set top box) also feeds other places (my stereo amp). The mixer may reduce stereo separation on all destinations due to the output impedance of the source. I put the pot right on the input so that the system can't be overloaded.

Good point!

...the IC makes not 100% video modulation.

True, but think about what the diode detector in the average vintage TV will do to the signal if it reaches 100% mod!

Hope the audio carrier can be switched off.

Not at the moment, but I can add that to the software.
