Vol is the complete domain, Vol_C is the conducting part (sigma != 0),
Vol_S a source region, Sur is a surface on which you may apply a Newmann
BC and pml is the PML region (here part of vol, due to some
siomplifications that appear for the vectorial PML case).

If you write the weak formulation, you will see that there is a time
derivative in front of them. But you can remove the Dt if you want.

I don't have references at hand right now, but the principle is the same
as for electromagnetic waves. In the scalar case, if you make the
calculations of the complex tranformation, you should come up with
something like (for a PML transformation along the x-axis, and if Vol
and PML are disjoint):

c[] = 340 ;
cx[] = Complex[1,-3] ;
detJ [ pmlx ] = cx[] ;
invJ [ pmlx ] = 1/TensorDiag[cx[],1,1] ;

FunctionSpace {
  { Name Hgrad_p ; Type Form0 ;
    BasisFunction {
      { Name sn ; NameOfCoef pn ; Function BF_Node ;
        Support Region[{Vol, PML}] ; Entity NodesOf[ All ] ; }
    }
    Constraint {
      { NameOfCoef pn ;
        EntityType NodesOf ; NameOfConstraint Pressure ; }
    }
  }
}

Formulation {
  { Name Acoustic_p ; Type FemEquation ;
    Quantity {
      { Name p ; Type Local ; NameOfSpace Hgrad_p ; }
    }
    Equation {
      Galerkin { DtDtDof [ 1/c[] * Dof{p} , {p} ] ;
                 In Vol; Jacobian Vol; Integration I1; }
      Galerkin { [ c[] * Dof{d p} , {d p} ] ;
                 In Vol; Jacobian Vol; Integration I1; }
      Galerkin { DtDtDof [ 1/c[] * detJ[] * Dof{p} , {p} ] ;
                 In PML ; Jacobian Vol ; Integration I1; }
      Galerkin { [ c[] * (detJ[] * invJ[] * Dof{d p}) * invJ[] , {d p} ]
;
                 In PML ; Jacobian Vol ; Integration I1; }
    }
  }
}
