Bug Description
Headphones are currently used to monitor a cued channel, but we should implement a split cue option where cued channels are sent to the left headphone channel and master mix to the right, or a way to select between cued channels and master mix.
As suggested by a forum user http://

Mixxx really needs this function. Just stick a little button next to cue/prgm pan knob graphic.
You could also put something in the options that would override the cue/prgm knob when split is lit, that way they'd be the same volume regardless of where the line is on it when split is active. Some mixers do that and some people like it.
You could also add another option that overrides the cue/prgm knob at all times, with prgm/master being heard on the headphone when no cue is selected. Xone 62 does that.
So add a split cue and selectable (one of three) cueing options and Mixx will have cueing down.

I posted a dup at https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/mixxx/ +bug/1268258 - now closed. Same problem, slightly different solution (I don't think it should be a UI option, but in the preferences):
As described here: http:// www.digitaldjti ps.com/ 2011/07/ djs-guide- to-splitter- cables/ , Stereo to mono splitter cables are useful in situations where you don't have access to a soundcard with multiple outputs, e.g. for practice situations. Also, this is useful in live situations with mono audio (apparently many clubs do this to prevent phasing problems anyway. It would be really useful feature to have in Mixxx.
Basically, in Options > Preferences > Sound Hardware > Output, the Master and Headphone tracks would need a "Mix to channel 1" and "Mix to channel 2" option for each sound device.
