I tried this a few times, the error stills happens everytime (play >30
minutes).

Seems like the bug where it can't authenticate the steam account is related to
the sound droping, some times they have happened one following by the other.

I have noticed that if I keep constantly poking (say, each 5 minutes or so) the
vpk files using snd_restart the bug is never activated.

It may be that the vpk files are being closed after a while and when l4d2 tries
to load any sound or tries to validate the files, they are already closed and
they can't be opened for some reason, which can be noticed in console where you
find a lot of "not found" errors.

I am just speculating from my experience playing the game. Everything works
great except for this tiny annoyance.
