Or as old school gamers call it "A3D"

Object-based surround, aka "positional audio" was something we had! Briefly. As gamers. Before Creative bought them and all the patents, never used it, and stoped trying. Now all our receivers and gaming systems try to give us "virtual speakers". Which sounds exactly as disappointing as you would think.
