xbox 360 headset mod

I am working on a design for an xbox 360 headset plug that I can use to connect my 360 headset to my computer's mic and speakers. I want to do this because I use my computer to output the sound for the 360. I thought it would be nice to use the same headset for the computer and the xbox. This way I wouldnt have to put on the goofy xbox headset on top of my computer headset just to talk to people on xbox live.
I thought that I could strip the wires off of the xbox headset and instead of having a speaker and microphone, I could replace them with 3.5mm jacks so that I could plug it into my computers front audio ports. I'm not exactly sure if this would work, but I cant really think of another way. If I am imagining this correctly I think that the microphone lead from the xbox headset would need to plug into the speaker jack on my computer, so that when I talk into my comp. headset it outputs to the microphone of the xbox. Right?
I'll probably start within the next week or so and then I will see how it goes.
