i have headphones and a speakerset, i don't want to manually switch (this is the only way) between them. I was thinking to use parallel port to switch, but my friend tell me that i can use a infrared adapter (plugged on USB) and use any infrared remote control, i need more details, can i use infrared adapter's driver to read codes sent from remote or something?

Work hard; increase production; prevent accidents, and be happy.
Better idea: plug both the speakers and headphones into a y-splitter.

Then how does he switch between the two? -

in past i was thinking to sent an audio signal (special signal, the switch signal) to a microcontroller that will switch between two outputs. But is too complicated...

If you want to use IR use this: http://www.usbuirt.com/ along with this: http://www.girder.nl/.
The USBUIRT is an IR receiver that plugs into your USB port and recieves a variety of different frequencies. Girder allows you to script actions based on that input. It's a nice setup. I use it currently on my SageTV HTPC install at home. I don't switch audio inputs however but if you can do it with a mouse Girder will allow you to do it via remote. -
