Field Note #1 @thorazine74 2009-10-31

Before installing it, did you have AppleHDA loaded?

Field Note #3 @Imkantus 2009-11-05

Post a codec dump from a Linux System and maybe one created by using "voodoohdahelper -dump" and I might try to create patched AppleHDA for you...

Field Note #4 @thorazine74 2009-11-06

The codecs commercial names sometimes dont match their real pci names, i.e. ALC889A that shows up as ALC885.
Try using the lastest patched VoodooHDA version, you have 0.2.1 in the panic sshot, and report the panic in that thread, maybe the developer that is fixing it can help you.
Also there is a fixed IOPCIFamily for Snow from the same person (Slice), as the kernel panic you posted mentions it in the backtrace maybe it can help you.
