Last time I checked, creative still hadn't added dolby digital live feature to their cards.
They've had it since at least the Audigy 2 ZS.
I just did some quick research and its optional in the x-fi series. I didn't see any mention of the audigy.
Of course, creative charges an extra $5 to get this feature since they don't make enough on selling the sound cards themselves.

creative linkLooks like they offer it for audigy series too not just the 2 zs, which must be fairly recent. My guess is they back ported it to previous cards since its just a software thing. Its another software based feature that applies to a wide range of their cards. The only reason the older cards are getting it is because they charge for this instead of including it. That $100-$200 price paid for most of these cards is apparently not enough for creative.
