It controls the input labeled on CD on the sound card. This will
only produce output if you have the analog audio cable between the
CD-ROM drive and the sound card. The reason you use the PCM input to
control the CD volume is because the player is getting the data from
the drive over the (S)IDE interface, and feeding the digital data to
the PCM input of the sound card.

If I remember well, grip is one application that gets the sound via
the anlog cable.
