This is the only thing I could find, and I've never tried it before.

um... you DO NOT want to do that!

The ADVANTAGE of having stereo gameplay AND music playing in your headset will be gone, and actually - you don't know this yet - but VERY ANNOYING, TOO.

Is there some reason you're not simply playing them BOTH and letting them mix in stereo?!?!

I do it all the time!  (Listen to/watch TV on second monitor while playting Halo on main monitor!  :P )

Kay then, you do what i do.
Listen to iTunes, while doing EVERYTHING.  :evil:

The only solution i have is...

If your Mic/Headset is USB start up iTunes BEFORE you plug in your headset, and allow the msuic to flow through your speakers.
Then plug in your Headset and start-up Vent.
Viola.

Music through Speakers, Peoples Through Vent.

But if your Headset Isn't USB then......

 :evil:

Its very annoying I played/listened to music on one side for about 2 days when waiting on a headset. It drove me crazy! Never do it!! lol

Thats my opinion ;D

Or, you can also get a mixer.  I have one so I can have 3 inputs (8 total on the mixer), main PC for Halo, iPod for music, laptop for VoIP calls.  Works great, and I can change the volume/mute each one individually.  Probably a bit expensive, just for what you want... :)  However, since each input has a left/right knob, you could move the Halo to one side, and music to the other.

What i do is, turn my Halo Down to about 1 of each (In the settings) So i can hear near by hogs, Shootings, sniping and Grenades, Etc and put my music to where i can hear it faintly and vent over that :D Do it all the time.

in Halo: Settings -> Audio Setup

Master, Effects, and Music Volume settings

(You can get to these in-game via the <ESCAPE> key -> Change Settings -> Audio Setup ....)

Note that these settings GO WITH THAT PROFILE, so will be different in EACH PROFILE YOU USE.
