maybe it has something to do with (even tho it can be used for other things) firewire's most popular use being for audio/video accessories.
here's Nvidia's explanation of their MCP-T chip--

not all Nforce boards include it, so the ones that have software-based audio solutions instead of the MCP-T sound chip are prolly the ones that are less likely to include firewire.
so... going by the fact that even Nvidia use a single chip for both audio and firewire on their motherboards, i'd suppose audio chip companies found that it was easy or convenient to integrate firewire onto the audio controller? i can't think of any other explanation... but there might be a better one, i guess.
