Isn't activator spawnflag 8?

Also, yes.

How do you calculate the falloff distance of a sound file with a specifc dB? Does the sound not play or is it inaudible past the falloff distance. I remember reading somewhere that pvs blocks sound from playing. Anyone know more about this?

If the sound source is beyond your PVS, it stops it from being played.

Digging this thread out. You can read the tutorial here now:

(I also checked Looped_On) Now the target_speaker has spawnflags 5 in the entity inspector... Though the sound still is only hearable if I stand right to the speaker. What am I doing wrong here?

Berserker, who is helping coding some new entities into the dfengine, told me what's the problem.
You can't use the looped_off or _on flags in combination with global or activator. Both of them have a higher priority and therefore they kind of overwrite the other two. So... no looping and globaling.
