How do you get rid of the latency in Audacity while recording and using headphones?

Latency is not a "problem" itself, the problem is, that with digital (or shoud I say "computer" equiment), we tend to forget how we worked with analogue equipment: the "digital" latency is nothing else than the "analogue" time difference between recording and playback head of a tape machine. 20 years ago nobody ever would have tried to give the playback head's signal back to the VO headphones... He/she would have started to "stutter" (or how do you call that in English? It's like the phaenomenon you have, if you try to talk to somebody by phone via a very bad transatlantic connection with a lot of delay-lay-lay-lay...
Althoug you can have a highclass super-computer with almost no latency, for recording the easiest solution is not to listen to the *recorded* signal, but to the signal going *into* the computer...

And that is my question - how can I set Audicity to allow me to listen to the signal going into the computer? In Protools, it's just an easy click click and it's done. I can't find anything like that in audacity.
Sure working without headphones is an answer, but when I am doing long form work, I have to be able to hear to save time. For example, I won't hear something in the background (like a car driving by) unless I have my headphones on - and after recording for 15 or 20 minutes, it can be time consuming to have to lay in another take.
