Good Bye Aureal

I know this is slightly off topic, but because we all use computers I
thought I'd pass it along. It's taken from VoodooExtreme. (www.ve3d.net)

"Aureal Inc., a leader in digital audio imaging, today announced the
resignation of all of its executive officers, including its President and
CEO, Kip Kokinakis, its Chief Technical Officer, Scott Foster, its Chief
Financial Officer, David Domeier, and its Chief Operating Officer and
General Counsel, Brendan O'Flaherty, along with all senior staff members of
Aureal. The Board of Aureal stated that it is seeking replacement or
turnaround management and is considering all necessary actions to either
sell the Company or its assets or wind down the Company."

I guess things don't look too  good for Aureal based sound cards. I
personally thought that SB Live was a little better for music quality, but
that Aureal was a tad better for positional audio, hence for games.

Any time something like this happens we should all say ouch.
