I won't argue with that; they are not only transmission lines but 
*broadband* transmission lines.

If you're using Cat-5 cable for analog audio, requirements for things like 
terminal spacing are not as stringent. Most of my clients are still 
running old-fashioned analog plants, except for their computer networks.
