Many computers, 1 set of headphones. What are the options?

Like many other super users I have many computers both at home and in the office. They are connected together with a KVM. What options exist to combine the audio from many systems so I only need a single set of speakers or headphones.

"Here's a 4 channel stereo passive (unpowered) mixer, USD 50 at Amazon:

If you can deal with switching between sources, there's a $5 option, 4 input stereo passive selector:

There's also the daisy-chain option. Since you'll need a bunch of 3.5mm-3.5mm stereo cables anyway, you could run them from one computer to the other and just plug your headphones into the last one.

This assumes you have a stereo line-in on your computers."
