I think you will find the local speed of sound is accounted for in the CAS calculation. It may be so that you can determine these from pressure calculations but pressure calculations also include temperature elements. So the answer is yes, Mach has a speed of sound element (for subsonic flight, as most of the replies retlated to).

Just as most textbooks describe (A.C Kermode- Mechanics of Flight).
