Perhaps Valve isn’t considering this a bug/regression. Google certainly isn’t, and many users of Chrome probably like this feature as well. I’m curious, does this behavior also block autoplaying MOTD ads? Anyways, it may make more sense to modify these plugins to send music through the (now significantly higher quality) voice chat. It will still be a step down in quality, and may require more server resources, but given how many times you’ve pinged this mailing list without an official response, it probably isn’t happening.

I'm unclear on if I should start emailing hl3team and similar so let me know how we can resolve this simple regression. I think some users have already mailed song requests in but I haven't heard back on those either. Kyle.
