CS:S missing wav files and using "validate" command

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

When I play a few CS:S maps (i.e. cs_office) I notice some red errors in
the console about "missing *****.wav file, not in disk\file repository"

I was wondering if anyone else has seen these. I assume I just won't be
able to hear certain environmental sounds.

If I try and fix them, would I use the steam:\\validate*** command (not
sure of the CS:S number) and would that require me to download\validate
the whole gcf file?
Since my awesome dialup connection might not be the best way to try and
refresh a 900meg GCF file for CS:S.

I get those sometimes, but it isn't consistent. Actually, the only time I
can think of it is in cs_office and something about flies.wav. The only
place you hear that is near the garbage pile, so it doesn't really mean
anything. I only have seen it 5 or 6 times, and hasn't given me any
problems. Do you get the message on other maps?

It's on our own server that we built. Nothing fancy or supposed to be
missing.
I get the same missing files each time.
Of top of head I recall it's was in the standard CS:S map cs_office,
missing projector.wav. Also another one that I can't remember.
Now to me there is that projector in the "boardroom". Do you hear
anything when in that hostage room? I certainly don't and not sure it
there is anything I'm supposed to hear.
Test it and let me know?!!?!?
