Wouldn't this cause cross-talk? "Received" digital noise by the analog
cables, that are parallel to the digital cable?
I'm not an authority on the subject -- but I would expect that
cross-talk would not be a problem, since all the signals are being
sent over a balanced pair.
* SPDIF isn't balanced, not even impedance balanced. AES is.
* SPDIF or AES probably won't survive a standard snake cable
of any practical length. SPDIF requires coaxial, AES requires
110 ohm screened twisted pair.
