Put an inductive pickup on your pc-speaker, run the lead up to an amplified speaker, and no leaning over required. Although the money you spend on this can get you a cheap PCI soundcard. In Australia we get something that will work under Linux for $23 so about $12 US, and no it won't mix sounds so you buy 2 of them at that price and use one for mp3s the other for something else.
