Soundcard 1/4" outs to consumer stereo speakers?

I have some nice Grado headphones for monitoring, but becuase much of my voice-over work will now end up being distributed as streaming Flash audio, I'd like to listen to the mix on cheap consumer desktop computer speakers as well -- the kind of thing that comes bundled with a PC or that you'd pick up at Circuit City or Costco -- that's what most of my audience will have.

Recording while monitoring with speakers in the same room?

I posted a thread a week or so ago about monitors and the responses have helped me make the decision to go buy a quality pair later today.

My question is this: how does recording and monitoring at the same time work? when I'm singing over tracks (harmonies etc) won't the mic pick up feedback from the speakers? (that's why I've been using headphones)

thx in advance
