My band is using a similar setup to the one you said that Illdisposed use.
CD player->Left: Behringer mixer (used as headphone amp), right:dignal to FOH.
Yeps it's ghetto alright.

Grüß aus Kölle!

been using this exact same setup with a cover band I live mix. Its been working for them for 3+ years.
