A couple of simple questions...

I have a Mac Pro and currently use a Monsoon 2.1 sound system with the speakers flanking my 24" display (the sub is under my desk).

Behind me on a set of bookshelves is an airport express. Recently, I've been playing around with the idea of using the iTunes jack to power a second set of speakers. The goal is a quadrophonic stereo experience. So here come the questions...

Will the jack on the AE only work with iTunes? I'm thinking about a situation in which I watch an mpeg4 movie using quicktime, when I do video editing in iMovie or when I'm putting a slideshow together in iPhoto. Under any of these situations would the speakers attached to the AE just not work?

Also, anyone want to recommend a really good set of 2.0 speakers for the above purpose? I've recently been looking at these:
