If the search function works at the moment, try using out, you'll definetly find your answer... I'm just too lazy to get into it all again

The problem you'll have with your headphones is that there's no pre-amp with your sound card so if you plug directly into your Audigy, you'll get mono sound in your headphones and stereo sound from your speakers.

Invest in an external mixer or external sound setup a la M-Audio...

The SB Audigy will definitely work OK with Traktor, I have one. Lots of similar "multichannel" soundcards that support 5.1 sound or more, will work in a similar way. The SB Live which is even cheaper will also work.

Set sound card to 4 channel quadraphonic mode with the CReative SB software utility. Front speakers jack to your actual speakers or amp, rear speakers jack to headphones. Or vice-versa. Both are stereo. Then you need to go into the Traktor audio settings to assign the monitor and master outputs. It can take a bit of diddling to get everything set so it works correctly.

On my Audigy which is about 3 years old I have the green jack for the speakers and the black one is for headphone I think, but I haven't used headphones on this system for a long time. The 2 jacks should be next to each other, might be labelled "Line 1" and "Line 2".
