RE: Not for a general purpose system

He is suggesting that you buy two sets of speakers. Set a little dinky pair of $5 speakers as the default output, and then configure your music player (and only your music player) to output to your real speakers.

That is actually more convenient on a general-use computer because it is highly unlikely you want your music and your general computer sounds (IM/e-mail notices, etc) to be played at the same volume anyway.
