I have a Hercules GameTheater XP soundcard with the deck and I just bought some DeskTop Theatre speakers. The problem is, the outputs on the XP deck are typical RCA plugs and the inputs on the Cambridge speakers are Creative miniplugs. There are miniplug outputs on the XP for the front and rear speakers, but not for the center channel and subwoofer. That means I can get 4.1 sound, but no center channel. I bought these speakers to get a center channel. Is there a way I can rig these speakers to get full 5.1 sound? Can I get a splitter? Please help.

A splitter would do no good for surround sound.

You have two options, I don't know whether both would work or not, but here you go:
1. Get an RCA-mini adapter (BTW, the 1/8" or mini plug wasn't invented by Creative Labs, as it seems you think).
2. There should be a green 1/8" outlet that would be the center/sub channel.

Also, do you have a digital receiver in the speakers? It seems from your post that they have separate inputs, but I'm not sure.
