Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I found a case when the PCM slider works.

If I do something wrong in a terminal window, I hear a beep
- also in my headphones. So, the PCM slider controls the beep
volume in the headphones.

I expected it to control anything which is digital in its nature and
is inside my machine, like FLAC or WAV file - in these cases the slider
does nothing.

I'll check what PCM slider does on an older machine of mine with
a different soundcard.
