That is the gist of what it's doing with AWE sound mode, but I figured they'd try and tap into the EMU8000 directly. Meanwhile, there's still music playing, so I figured that they somehow tapped into the ROM samples for the music while still using the RAM for the loaded SoundFont.
Still, this calls for an actual hardware comparison between an actual AWE32/64 and one of my more modern machines running DOSBox with the game's SoundFont loaded into my X-Fi card.

Thanks for the clarification.
It's similar to how official DOSBox builds don't have MT-32 emulation support.
