I just did this at our Language and Technology Center. Our computers are
underneath the tables, so we not only wanted to have two students be able
to listen to the same audio output, but needed to have the jacks extended
so that they were more accessible to the students.  So I decided to build
my own!

I went to Radio Shack and bought a splitter, some plugs and jacks and
then went to an electronic store for some 3-conductor sheilded wire.  We
got very small plastic project boxes from the electronic store and
mounted the jacks inside them and then screwed them to the underside of
the table just next to each side of the keyboard.  

So far they have been working great.  The only catch was that we are
using G4s with the proprietary microphone plugs, so we weren't able to
make extensions for those.  We did however, make both headphone and
microphone extensions for the PCs we have upstairs and they are working
very nicely.
