Headphone output switch?


Hey everyone, here's what I'm trying to do.
I've got a 17" Flat Panel iMac and it's got two audio output jacks. One specifically for the crappy Apple Pro Speakers(it's a proprietary jack so it's of no use to me) and one regular headphone jack style output. I'm currently using a radioshack splitter to connect my iMac to a pair of small computer speakers and my Home Theater. I've got a ground loop isolator on the receiver so the signal is nice and clean. However, even with the volume on the speakers down all the way, you can still hear a faint bit of audio from them. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen a product that allows my to connect to 1/8" plugs to a single output and switch between them with a button or something along those lines. I saw something at radioshack that I thought was what I'm looking for but it looked like it was intended for use with a microphone/headset combo. Anyone have any ideas short of getting some type of USB digital out(which wouldn't do me much good as my receiver has no open digital inputs). It's not a big deal, but I think using a switch would be a little cleaner both in terms of sound and in usage.



Regards,
Dave
