That w5a seems much never than this one, I have tried looking some more into asus website to find this model, and I guess it is either m6v or m6n... It is a pentium single core, no webcam and two jacks
* MIC
* S/PDIF

I am not sure what to make of that, I am guessing that those numbers are identical to some signature my laptop have? I have no experience with kernel hacking / driver development, so there might be something I am missing here.

front affects both internal speaker and Headphone.

> Do the mic jack works ?

Yes
 
> Do mic boost and front mic boost affect the mic and internal mic ?

I don't see a mic boost option anywhere. The recording part of alsamixer that is related to recording on my laptop is 'digital' 'capture' 'capture 1' and 'capture 2' seems to be ignored
