Mac Pro | Can I listen to two audio sources, each on a separate jack?

My iTunes library plays out of the rear audio jack on my 2007 Mac Pro tower (MacPro1,1 // Snow Leopard). I'd like to have the front jack with headphones exclusively available for other sounds (usually browser-based videos, etc.)

"I would spring for an airport express base station (less than $100 I believe). It is an Apple Wifi access point with an audio out jack. Itunes has an option to stream its output to that jack which you would then connect to your home stereo via the same sort of cable you are using to connect to the back of the tower now.

This way, your music through iTunes is separate from your 'computer sounds.' I use this setup, in conjuction with a nice remote to play back all my music in my apartment.
