Okay. Something else I learned today... but how do games like Shades of Doom, GMA tank commander and various PC mainstream games manage to have that effect?

Hi,

No, you can't do that. With DirectSound, FMOD, and various other audio
APIs I have used once 3d audio is enabled on a specific buffer you can
not use stereo panning. Same is true for panning. If you create a
stereo buffer and set panning to true you can not apply 3d positioning
to that buffer. For APIs like OpenAL and XAudio2 there is no stereo
panning and 3d positioning is all you have.
