Creative and id Software Announce DOOM 3 Engine/EAX ADVANCED HD Collaboration

Creative: "Creative, a worldwide leader in digital entertainment solutions for PC users, today announced its agreement with id Software relating to Creative's patented shadowing technique and id's cutting-edge 3D graphics DOOM 3 engine, allowing Creative to develop EAX ADVANCED HD 3D audio options for future licensees. 'The DOOM 3 engine ushers in a new rendering paradigm that allows id and our licensees to bring cinema quality visuals to game players in real time,' said Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software. 'We look forward to further enhancing players' audio experience by working with Creative to leverage their EAX ADVANCED HD audio technology in the DOOM 3 engine.' ... A future version of the DOOM 3 engine featuring Creative EAX ADVANCED HD audio technology is expected to be available to id Software licensees later this year."

Interesting, but this means that this technology won't be included in DOOM, leading me to ask again, what are the 3D audio features in this game?
