Mine is non-pro 5.1 too... it's strange because even P.Dunbar's Pro
5.2 has similar layout to mine.
We need to create another model to cover your configuration. The
problem is that you've got the
same Subsystem Id as we do. So it can't be auto-detected. I can try to
blindly code it during the
weekend but it'll be hard to debug... Do you have sound output? Is mic
your only problem?

Bug description:
Reporting this bug for another user...

In MacBook and MacBookPro 5,1 (aluminium, late 2008) the soundcard works out of the box only with headphones, and to turn speakers on it is necessary to manually set the 6 channels. In that case, sound is heard both on headphones and right and center speaker; the left speaker doesn't work yet.

This bug is confirmed by several users, see the additional information attached.
