Creative has done a good job of stifling competition by simply buying them out and then sitting on their tech. They bought out their last major competitor, Aureal, and evidently haven't used much, or any of their IP.
They also don't bother to fix known problems, such as bass management or resampling. Also, if you think that tech is going forward for sound cards, name another gaming card that provides full sound acceleration. Creative totally owns that market.
