I find myself wondering what wise guy at Microsoft thought that you shouldn't be able to play stereo files in a 3d buffer. While it's true that if the sound is off to the left or right, the stereo effect isn't noticeable, when you're in front of the object it certainly is. That's why there are

Hi Ken, Actually, this has nothing to do with Microsoft specifically. All the 3d libraries out there be it OpenAL, FMOD Ex, Bass, etc use mono sound samples for virtual 3d audio. There are technical reasons why they use mono instead of stereo for virtual 3d audio, but I don't recall off hand
