They look same so can I mix front panels ?
-Live!.
-Audigy 1,2 zs.
-X-FI.

I have never actually used these front panels:
What do they do in simple terms ?
Do they have any real use ?

Live! and Audigy 1 panels - interchangeable.
Audigy 2 - only Audigy 2 series. EDIT: Compatible with X-Fi panel too.
X-Fi - PCI and PCI-E card panels are incompatible between each other.

What do they do in simple terms ?

Remote control, sound volume control, audio inputs and outputs, firewire port.

Do they have any real use ?

For gaming? Headphones jack and volume control. Playing songs via player remotely. Maybe SPDIF output, if you need to record your footage from another computer.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

You're wrong.
