[PLUG] OT: multiplexing speakers?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I have several machines in a server closet in my office.  Right now I 
have 2 sets of speakers in my office, but now I need 3.  Rather than 
buying yet another set and building another extension cord, is anyone 
aware of a good way to "multiplex" or share them?

I'd say that they won't all be in use at the same time, but that might 
not be true.  I can live with manual switching or only allowing 2 at a 
time to work.

I'd also assume that just building some kind of "Y" cable would be a bad 
idea, e.g. it might fry the sound cards?  Like:
	[PC / sound card 1]---\
                               \_________[speakers]
	[PC / sound card 2]---/

TIA,
JP

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
