If you buy a decent (surround) sound card then it will have jacks for all your RCA leads. There are RCA-to-phone cables and adapters available. Just make sure you get the stereo versions that make one phone plug out of two RCA ones.

yes but wont that mean ill have 3 1/8 jacks! therefore i will then need 2 of thouse splitters for 1/8 so i can plug them in and then ill end up with 1 1/8 jack! is that right! and buy hte way what surround card should i get??? ta mate!

Why do you insist on ending up with only one phone plug?

If you buy a 5.1 soundcard then it will have all the jacks for analog output to match the 6 RCA inputs in your home theatre.
