A prerelease update is available for Counter-Strike: Source, Day of
Defeat: Source, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch,
and the Source SDK 2013 Base. The update notes are below.
Prerelease branches can be accessed in Steam via the Properties -> Betas
tab. Dedicated servers can pass -beta prerelease to the app_update
command in SteamCMD.
If all goes well, this branch will be promoted to the current release in
the coming days, so please let us know if you encounter any issues.
Note that this is *not* the previously mentioned toolchain update for
these games, which is still slated for the near future.

clamping to 11kHz
