Bleep,
That all works well, but which case manufacture is doing that one days. I remember in the early days of FPMM (Front Panel MultiMedia) there using to be your standard stereo jack what would allow you do that.
a. It was easy to plug in.
b. No all other boards had FPMM, even though FP USB was commen.
The reason why they did away with that was that some of the USERS found the idea of this cable sticking out of the back of their PC ugly (even though they would need to look hard to find it)
Now days, the only place I have seen this sort of set up as been on some of the 5 1/4" Front Panel MM/USB Drive panels.

In threory, Creative Labs should have some sort of pin alignment on their sound card so you can hook up your cases front panel MM into it. RTFM on your sound card.
But you will need to do this. You will need to do is :-
1. open your case
2. Locate the FPMM Cable that is from the front of your Case to your motherboard. The FPMM pin are normally behind the printer port on the motherboard. RTFM on your motherboard. Now you should have 2 jumpers for your FPMM pin that you will need to put back on. Again, check the manual on the motherboard.
3. Remove FPMM cable that are connect to the motherboard. Put the to jumpers back on the motherboard FPMM pins.
5. Connect this cable onto the FPMM pins on the sound card. Provided that those in pins are their on the sound card, it should work.
On a side note :-
The problem with Sound Blaster is that they are a contantly changing the hardware designs on their sound cards. You can get 2 Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 that were produces in the same year. The will take the same driver, but if you look at them phyiscially, you will see that they are different.
Anyways, I hope this helps.
