I've tried to do that sort of thing a couple of years ago, with an Audigy, and its analog outputs plugged to the Delta101LT. In my experience it was not worth the effort, the Audigy wavetable memory was too small to hold FluidR3, and the GM fonts that fit in sounded poor IMHO... all in all you're much more flexible with a software soundfont/gig/sfz/whatever player.

My 2 €cents,
