Hello, I wanted to make a server with custom blocks, new texture and new sounds (ambiance and music), wanted to know if it's possible and if it is, how can I do it?

You need to make a title pack with all the stuff. And players with the title will be able to play on your server.

But the players will download it automatically when they join my server?

Using the xml-rpc methods SetForcedMods and SetForcedMusic you can get to some point.
Custom blocks can be used within titlepacks or the user should have the blocks themselves already (no titlepack is required for that). Closest you can get, I guess, is to put a link in your server description triggering a block pack download/installation.

So people will not download titlepacks automatically? And if I only use custom textures and sound, they will? It's because I wanted convert some road blocks from TMUF desert, use it's textures and sound. So what's better, make a titlepack of all that or...?

Make a title pack is more ambitious (you can also build a solo campaign) but more difficult because people have to download the title before playing on your server. It's not automatic.

If the more important for you are textures, you can build a mod. With a locator people will automatically download the textures whan they play your maps on your server. Same for pictures but i don't know how it works for musics.

What's gonna happen in December? Nadeo will add the possibility to people automatically download title packs?

It's seems to me that this feature will be available in the next update.

1) Make a server, put maps on it
2) Setup Xaseco on your server
3) Use the plugins MusicServer and ForceMods for Xaseco
4) Let the musicserver override the maps built in music
5) Let the forcemods override the maps built in mods (or default)

If adding own blocks (e.g. a lighthouse) is what u want, thats where
u switch to the titlepack option.
