That is because there are different ways to get sound from a CD. You
can use the audio output from the CD-ROM drive - that shows up on
the CD input. You can also grab the digital data from the CD-ROM
drive over the data cable, and convert it to analog using software
on the computer - this will show up on PCM just as playing a music
file from a hard drive will. Some CD-ROM drives also have a digital
out connection on the drive, and some sound cards have an input for
this. I don't know what that input is labeled.
