Speaker/headphone output for applications

I have 2 jacks on my machine, one for speakers and the other a headset
and Vista correctly identifies both of them.

Is there a way to designate specific applications to use a designated
output?

For example, I use my headset to play games yet I want to use my
speakers for pretty much everything else. It gets frustrating to
realize that I have the wrong output selected, and then close the
application, switch the default device and open again.

I don't believe Vista can do that.
My speakers have jacks in them for a headset.
When I plugin the headset, the speakers shutup.
