Sprites in 3D Space

I'm using ID3DXSprite to display and manage my sprites. How can I setup ID3DXSprite to work with 2D sprites in 3D space exactly as if they were 3D objects? Each sprite should basically act as a 3D Plane. Think of how Doom's sprites worked. Doom used 2D bitmaps in 3D space with billboarding. I am not as concerned with billboarding though. Thanks for any help. Code examples would be most helpful!

I set up my Begin() function to use D3DXSPRITE_OBJECTSPACE, yet my objects don't even appear. My camera is set at (10,10,10) and pointing at (0,0,0). My sprite should appear at the origin, yet I see nothing at all. Lighting is disabled.

Can anyone possibly gesture as to why this is happening? If you need code examples, I will gladly post them on request.
