Found the issue. Turns out the dedicated server depot for SDK 2013 lacks 2 libs: scenefilecache.so and soundemittersystem.so. While games as CS:S work fine without those, mods complain about those missing files and server shuts down with this message:
AppFramework : Unable to load module soundemittersystem.so! Unable to load interface VSoundEmitter002 from soundemittersystem.so So I copied those from the client repository and that was my mistake. You either create a symlink from their respective _srv versions or just copy and rename them, never take the ones meant for clients. That solves the error related to game_sounds_manifest.txt load, not the soundscapes manifest one though. TL:DR linux dedicated server is broken, it won't even load and trying to fix it may cause further issues. > > File encoding was one of the things I looked at before posting here, in any > case I repeat that linux client is able to load sound scripts and > soundscapes when listen server is created.
