Actually I think its the output that the X-Fi Elite uses to connect it's external box.

It's the output to the breakout box I would assume. The pins on the very back look like they are what you could hook up to a 5.25" bay on later models, too. :)

It's crazy...sound cards needing heatsinks now..

It's weird, the first year or so after release none of them had heatsinks. I bought one when it first came out (no heatsink), and I didnt run into any problems. But I guess some people ran games 24/7 and it overheated or something... either that ot Creative just wanted to make them look cool :p
