Threads.
Unless the Source engine has some system-agnostic thread interface (the
developers' wiki returns zero results... must suck doing server
threading for both POSIX (Unix) and Windows separately), just read this:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682516.aspx
The thread function should, while making sure the music is playing,
periodically check some sort of global variable and return when it
becomes non-zero. CreateThread right before you load; when loading is
done, set the global variable to 1 and do a WaitForSingleObject followed
by a CloseHandle. I don't think you need to CriticalSection the global
variable setting since only one thread will ever modify it (the one
responsible for the loading).
Oh, and should you ever wonder: what POSIX threads call "mutex" is a
"critical section" on Windows. A "mutex" is used for interprocess (and
not interthread like on POSIX) communications on Windows.

FMOD you too. I am lost as to what exactly you are saying. How do I
start music playing when the map change occurs and a new map begins
loading?

FMOD? Start up a thread, let it run while loading a map. Fade to
silence when the map starts running.
