A good quality pot is all that should be required (a dual pot will adjust the volume the same ammount for each channel)
Some people (such as **broken link removed**) prefer slightly more complicated volume controls, but personnaly, I fell that a normal pot is sufficient.
errr, any value between about 10K and 100K should be fine. Personally I use 47K for volume controls. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
As for a type of pot, linear is probably best, and some shops sell 'high quality audio' pots, it just depends how much money you have to spend.
Something I just though, you can buy headphone extension cables with volume controls built in - its easier, but you will pay more for a ready made one...

Thanks all for your input. Unfortunately I live in South Africa (I am white if you are wondering), and we are not really 'up to date' in those sort of things. I've never seen a cable extension with a built in volume control in any shop, anywhere in South Africa. Anyway, thanks 4 everyhing guys.

you reckon? I admit I hadn't actually looked at prices, I was sort of guessing....
anyway, as Optikon said, try ordering online. I know for a fact that https://www.maplin.co.uk/ sell a headphone extension cable with a built in volume control. I don't know what their shipping costs to S. Africa will be though...
P.S. purely out of interest, why did you feel the need to say that you were white?
