Apparently that is possible, but perhaps not very reliable. I've not tried that myself but I hear that it "sometimes" works. It's not really how ASIO was designed to be used.

I've tried Jack with Audacity, and it works perfectly.
Only silly thing is that every time I start to record I have to pause to connect the MIDI synthesiser to Audacity, because Audacity isn't listed when not playing or recording, and the program doesn't seem to remember the previous configuration, but overall it's a very good software.
Thank you so much

Thanks for letting us know JACK was a solution to connect multiple applications.

Yes there is a list at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Linux_Issues#JACK of Audacity's JACK limitations.
