Basically pcm is, as you quoted from the manpage, an audio device driver and it works or both ISA and PCI devices. Originally I had a no-name Yamaha OPL3 ISA card which, with device pcm0 ..... in my kernel was found as pcm0. I replaced it with a SB PCI128 and , with the *same* kernel, it was found as pcm1 and nothing found at pcm0. From dmesg: es1: <AudioPCI ES1371> rev 0x06 int a irq 11 on pci0.11.0 pcm1: using I/O space register mapping at 0x6800 es1371: codec vendor CRY revision 19 es1371: codec features Bass & Treble Headphone out 20bit DAC 18bit ADC es1371: stereo enhancement: Crystal Semiconductor 3D Stereo Enhancement [snip] pcm0 not found If I change ``device pcm0....'' to ``device pcm1...'' my SB is found at pcm2 and I get ``pcm1 not found''. The number specified in the ``device pcm...'' line is reserved for ISA, and PCI devices are always found at the next number.
