Audio-over-Cat5 _will_ work. IF you send analog signals. But you have to 
create the analog signals somewhere. And that somewhere is not the 
network-interfaces of the router. And other network-interfaces can _never_ 
successfully receive the analog signal.

But by soldering a box (two actually) that connects an RJ45-connector with 
some male and female XLR-connectors (or some line-jacks) you can use a 
Cat5-cable as a multicore...
