One thing I learned the hard way thanks to Lord Havoc was that you cannot call an ambientsound function during a MP game. It will add to the sign-on packet for a new client connecting because I guess its more or less a permanent / static entity, and crashes the server.

The other way to simulate ambient sounds is:

use mp3/ogg or cd tracks and define them in worldcraft / hammer editor.
(map1.bsp plays track01.mp3 (war ambience, map2.bsp plays track02.mp3 (factory ambience etc...)
