.pcm is a format type, not a file type as such. All uncompressed audio in Audition is PCM, but if you want to save that, then you have to pick one of the .pcm file types (generally .wav). So if you look in Audition's files list you'll find an entry like this:

and the highlighed line should give you a bit of a clue...

As I said, it's not a file type. If you want to know more about this, look at the libsndfile home page, where you will see a table with various PCM format types down the left hand side, and file systems that can save those formats across the top. You will not find PCM in the top list, because PCM is not a file type; it is a format that can be saved in different configurations. So a wav file could be, for instance, a 32-bit stereo PCM format, or equally well an 8-bit mono one. They would both be PCM files, as would be an .aiff. But PCM cannot be stored without defining the paramaters, and then placing them in a 'container' with a recognised extension. But that extension can't be PCM!
