Radioshack (if you're not on EST, you can still probably find one open) will carry the adapter you need, you'd need a female RCA to 1/8" audio jack. Hook the video up normally and hook the adapter to the white wire for the audio.

Edit: The same adapter should work for the speakers too

How does it look on the 2000FP? I have one (well, 2) of those monitors, and have thought about hooking it up to the Xbox but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Yep, I use the same thing on a PS2. You'll probably need a 1/8" coupler too. Oh, don't forget to get an inline volume control since I doubt the XBox output has one.

Is the analog audio output on the Xbox amplified?

Sound quality might be a tad off, then, depending on the levels he listens at and the sensitivity of said headphones.

I MUST use headphones at night, otherwise I risk dismemberment at the hands of MTG.
Here's my setup:

Xbox AV Pack: Advanced AV Pack
Video: Planar 18" LCD (using s-video)
Audio: via TOSlink cable to Creative Labs Soundblaster Live Platinum Live Drive
Speakers: Creative Labs Inspire 5.1 5300
Headphones: Sony earbuds (for quiet gaming at night)
Live Headset: Sanyo cordless phone headset

I just put the headset over one of the earbuds.
Too many cables, but works like a champ!
