Are you going to work on any other Audigy-series drivers, e.g. Audigy 2 ZS? I'm finding the emu10k1 driver in alsa-driver-1.0.5a has serious problems with random intermittent distortion of the soundfont samples while they are being played on the soundcard's MIDI synthesiser, e.g. using aplaymidi -p 65:0. "Random intermittent distortion" means, e.g. the sound during MIDI playback becomes "muffled" for a minute or two and then returns to normal sound quality, or the sound wrongly becomes mono for a few seconds, and then returns to stereo. Also, it seems emu10k1 does not load soundfonts correctly, especially if you ever use any really large 25MB soundfonts.
