Yes it works, but you'll only get sound from the headset's one-sided earmuff. Since it's USB, it cuts off the sound from your speakers (at least on mine). Test it out first to see if that's what you want, not sure if there are programs or drivers that will split the sound to both the USB headset and the speakers as well.
Edit* Ok I looked into the control panel's sound properties, it does seems like you can split the voice channel and the game's audio channel to 2 different output. I tried w/ the PS2 USB headset and I can select it as Voice playback (under Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Voice tab), then in the Audio tab you select the Audigy/Live/whatever sound card is for your Sound Playback. I didn't try it yet, but my friend says he got it to work for a few programs (such as Team Speak, Roger Wilco, and Ventrilo) and games. I'm not sure about the typical 3.5mm headsets, since they're pretty much using the same audio output device, which is the card itself.
