It is possible using just the tools provided by valve, sorry can't be of much more help since it was long ago. I added a bgm, a death bgm, and a sped up one for when the timer is running out. and did the required transitions, looping and other checks. I do recall I did this client side since its much simpler and music doesn't have to be synchronized, most likely used a cautomanager (was that the name?)..
