Actually pcm is the format of uncompressed audio. It is often saved in a 
file with the suffix .wav but there are several other formats that use 
this suffix. Most common is microsoft wav which is basically pcm with a 
few additional headers but there are also some (now rarely used) 
compressed formats.
The video equivalent to pcm would be yuv, but I think there is also a 
format for uncompressed rgb. I've never seen this used, though.
