I think that the original purpose of PC Speaker is a beep generator. Also, many SoC platforms use AC97 codecs, so removing abbreviation PC might make sense. It would be probably best to change all control names in drivers to 'Beep'. Comments?
Yes, I agree to rename all to Beep. The word "PC Speaker" has been always confusing.
Patch is here:

I only don't know details about MAC (ppc) drivers. The "PC Speaker" controls are for beep generator or for full featured build-in internal speakers? I would propose to use "Internal Speaker" name for full featured outputs.
So far, most of HD-audio driver uses "Speaker Playback Volume" since "Internal Speaker" is too long and can't be shown well in alsamixer, for example.
