I've no idea how this will work if F13 has pulseaudio as I've never used it.

You could try using alsa eg.

...:alsa:adevice=hw.3

Change the number at the end to match the saa sound device as shown by
cat /proc/asound/cards

You may also need to run as root alsamixer and unmute the device (but 
this may not show if pulseaudio is installed).

also try audiorate=48000
