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.
I don't have an Audigy 2 ZS, so unless someone donates one, I can't help you there.
At the moment I also have an Audigy LS (5.1) which seems to have similar problems to the Audigy 2 ZS.
Can you post to a web site your soundfonts file, and instructions on how to use them with the creative cards, I might be able to help.
The 25MB piano soundfont is here: http://www.wstco.com/pianosounds/freesoundfont.htm Please note the author Warren has told me his soundfont is not re-distributable.

An even better test would be to do some experiments on an Audigy using Rosegarden 4 0.9.8 for MIDI playback, JACK audio, etc http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/
I have a cheepo Audigy 2 (old version) that I might be able to reproduce your problems on.
I don't work with MIDI much, which is why I have not added MIDI support to the Audigy LS driver at the moment.
I hope you will add MIDI support; I think it would be a great improvement.

I have played some .mid files now, but I have not noticed any problems with my Audigy 2.
When I downloaded the fonts file, mine had a different name to yours. Yours: WST25FStein_00Aug14.SF2 Mine: WST25FStein_00Sep22.SF2
Can you provide me with a .mid file that shows the problems and is easy to reproduce the problems?
Cheers James
