Poll: Will Creative use A3D 2.0?

Will creative use A3D 2.0 or did they just buy Aureal to get rid of competition/lawsuit?

(either in the SBLive! or the next generation chip)


I know that ending the lawsuit was one reason, but I'm hoping that they will use A3D 2.0 in their upcoming cards as well, EAX adds alot of feel to game, but so does A3D, they are quite different, and I think a soundcard supportting A3D 2.0 and EAX 3.0 would be pretty damn sweet (hardware dolby digital decoding would be nice too 😉, but at least they have software based now).
 
I beleive they bought Aureal in part to get rid of the lawsuit in general, but to aquire the technologies that Aureal brought to the table in terms of competition, and to include it on their upcoming sound cards.
 
it was to get rid of the lawsuit without a doubt.

without aureal, they have very little competition, and they don't need to concentrate on technology anymore, but rather profit -- Creative is a greedy company IMO
