The card works on windows but not on linux, the compilant of the slot and card are different my bus is 2.2 compilant but card is 2.1 compilant.But from internet thats not a problem.Still figuring out and found that the chip on card is CA0103(creative) which is not listed on the alsa website and linux treating it as an EMU10k1x. I think that might be making linux to hangup.. correct me if i am wrong..

Yeah jpollard I faced this problem where improperly fixed card caused windows to hang up sometimes

Hi,
I was able to boot my system by blacklisting the emu10k1x, emu10k1 in sound-modems.conf and also oss.conf .
The driver name for windows is given as AU8850, I saw that I dont have it in /lib/modules/3.3.29-smp/kernel/sound/pci/au88x0
I have 10,20 and 30 . I will have to run my system as such with out sound till I get the right driver.If someone knows how to over ride the defaults and make it to detect right driver or know about any tutorial for that it would be much helpful.

Thank you all who have helped me gain knowledge because this is my first post on the forum.

I do not know how to over-ride the defaults; sorry but these articles I found may give you the knowledge to understand how--

Not sure if using ogg123 is the answer-
ogg123 supports a variety of audio output devices through libao. Only those devices supported by the target platform will be available. The -f option may only be used with devices that write to files.
