Which is my point, that we don't need anything fancy, and every onboard crappy realtek soundcard should be able to do this, when the API is right.
Oh right, absolutely. If CMSS-3D was available as software to be used on any soundcard and games used Direct3D/OpenAL then it'd be great (although I think CMSS-3D is probably a bit dated now and a better algorithm could be made that would provide as good positioning without affecting the clarity as much).
