one of the "other reasons" could be, that Compaq devised their own scheme for full SoundBlaster backwards compatibility with PCI add-in sound-cards. Theirs requires one additional pin or connector on the mother-board to hook to the add-in sound card. Only the patented ESS system does away with this requirement and hooks up right on the PCI as is. Either Compaq's NIH or an ESS possible premium for their elegant solution may well be the explanation.
