Okay, so I would like to set up my audio in a specific way. I would like to set it up so the internal speakers do not turn off when I plug in headphones. Can this be accomplished? How?
No - unless you're willing to play around with the electronics.
One way around it to to hook your Mac upto a hi-fi system and then split the output in the pre-amp section so that you can do tape monitoring (for the earphones) and listen to the Mac on the hi-fi speakers.
That's as close as I can think of to meeting your goal, although with the small hopeless internal speakers which come with the Mac, I can't see any way to use the earphone 3.5mm jack and maintain the speaker output simultaneously - your computer isn't hard-wired with that loop facility.

Good luck.
