Interesting stuff, but of course they wouldn't use it as according to the article the bit rate is too high.

I guess a correction is in order, sound is generally compressed in most practical applications!

CDs have PCM sound. Lots of DVDs do as well, but yeah, it wouldn't be used in a game. After all, an hour of PCM 5.1 sourround would take up 6 CDs...

EDIT: Ingame sound effects are almost certainly PCM though.
