Sorry, I wasn't completely right on that. I remembered using PC's in  
a Ableton Live show once, but now when checking back at that session  
it appears that Program Change can only be used with Live in the  
other direction:  From a MIDI Live Clip and to some other target. But  
If you have third-party effects or virtual instrument, also in Live,  
you can target them if they accept PC. I was simply using different  
Live Clips to control sound banks in a synth (taking advance of Lives  
random scripting).

So to correct myself: MIDI note numbers and MIDI CC's is what Live  
can handle as INCOMING. Then Program Change is added for OUTGOING  
midi control.
