nopes.... unless you have dual soundcards on a mixer...
with standard laptops, the sound channels will go either to your deadphones or to the speakers...

Is there a way to make it so that music comes out of the speakers and through the head phones when I plug them into the front?

You can do this with jack, which will also give you complete control of where sounds are being routed to and from.

I am not very familiar with jack do you know of a tutorial or could you give me a walk-through?

If I remember correctly, PCDJ runs under wine quite nicely. I know this doesn't exactly answer your question - just a thought, have you tried running virtual dj under wine?

Download jackd, qjackctl and patchage packages from synaptic.
Add yourself to the audio group in Users & Groups

Put this into a terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf

and paste these lines:

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock unlimited

Open up jack from the sound and video menu, press start, check message window to see whether it runs OK. Open up patchage to connect up the audio chain.
