Not directly Amiga related, but maybe one of the many smart people here can give me a hint 
I have few WaveBlaster cards here, the NEC-branded DB60XG clones, and want to do something useful with them. One I'm going to turn into a "ProjectXG" box, similar to the one I've just sold to Vidchick, once I'm going to install in a Mini-ITX PC, via a USB MIDI interface and internal audio header, and the last one I want to turn into an external MIDI tone module.
The digital side of the electronics is dead easy, I can do that in my sleep, and I can bring the audio from the card to a line-out socket easily enough. What I'd like to do, though, is add a headphone socket. The card can't drive headphones directly, so I'll need some kind of amplifier, and the analogue electronics involved are a bit of a closed book to me!
Can anyone suggest a suitable IC and circuit to use for this purpose? (I seem to remember when I started trying to get my head around op-amps 6 or 7 years back I found the sheer number of different types available quite bewildering - how on earth do you pick one from so many!)
Anyhow, I have +/-12v power rails available, and just want a basic stereo headphone amp with volume control, but using as few supporting components as possible. (I'll be using stripboard, and want to keep the footprint to a minimum.)
