I would at least get the Creative Mixer to make sure you have control over the CARD, since Windows gives you limited control. I don't have the Audigy, but the X-Fi gamer and have to use the Creative Mixer to control certain things.

Also, if in the end, you want to use Soundfonts, be sure to get the Soundfont bank manager.
