At the moment I have the latest Imac,
and sound did not work out of the box.
what I found was  the imac91 patch
submitted on the alsa mailing list
(currently using that with 2.6.31-rc1)
then with experimenting I found this worked as well:

        case 0x106b00a0: /* MacBookPro3,1 - Another revision */
         case 0x106b00a1: /* Macbook (might be wrong - PCI SSID?) */
         case 0x106b00a4: /* MacbookPro4,1 */
         case 0x106b2c00: /* Macbook Pro rev3 */
         /* Macbook 3.1 (0x106b3600) is handled by patch_alc883() */
         case 0x106b3800: /* MacbookPro4,1 - latter revision */
+     case 0x106b4900: <-------Susbsystem ID number from codec#0
         board_config = ALC885_MBP3;
          break;
(or you use the /etc/modprobe.d/options telling alsa to use mbp3)

In your case the question is, is what/were might
be the location of the *.c file that needs to be patched?
i.g. the imac uses patch_realtek.c, and my old macbook pro
uses another.(patch_sigmatel.c) from there you can see if you can
add your Subsystem id to Generic 1013 ID 4206 spec(if available) to see 
if you get sound.

When looking at patch_realtek.c I see line 7466 macbook 5,1 which gets 
routed
to the ALC885_MB5; spec

with your model I see:
Codec: Generic 1013 ID 4206
(what or where might this belong to?
i.g. *.c file?)
