According to the Halflife2.net (http://www.halflife2.net/) site, as well as a new update to Steam apparently addressing the sound stutter problem, it is reported that the SDK will be released next week along with "a surprise for the community."
Valve have released an update for Half-Life 2. Here are the details: The changes in this release are directed at reducing the problem some users are experiencing with sound stuttering. The sound stuttering is not indicative of a sound problem, sound stuttering is only a symptom of texture thrashing on your video card or AGP memory. For information on how to reduce texture thrashing visit this link on our support site:

This update will fix sound stuttering that users were experiencing that would last for longer than a few seconds during normal gameplay. This update will also eliminate this same behavior following a quicksave or autosave. There will still be a short pause while the autosave happens, but not the more drawn out stuttering behavior.
We are still investigating another performance problem on some hardware, which will manifest where the game is getting into a state where performance drops to less than 5 fps and does not recover or crashes. Restart your Steam clients to receive this update.
There is also a comment on what to expect next week... Next week we will be releasing the Source SDK, along with a surprise for the community. Surprise? Stay tuned, you know as much as we do.
Start the speculation on the "Surprise"!!!!1111!!!
