There's a great tutorial from OnLamp (the O'Reilly people) to do just
what you're looking to do. They recommend using hardphones instead,
but the setup is basically the same:

With the X-lite clients, just be sure you turn of silence suppression
(if you don't it will cause asterisk to hang up on you!). See this:
