I agree with JYA.  What your asking for borders on being a Rube Goldberg
machine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine>... get a
miniplug to RCA cable and plug it directly into your stereo or tv.

If you really insist on the audio going through your PC, you might
experiment with VLC or XMMS.  I know there was once a line-in plugin for
winamp that would allow you to get visualizations for an analog source (I
had a DJ friend using it to run visualizations on a projector while using a
traditional mixing board and turntables for the source), something similar
might exist for XMMS?
