To be rather pedantic, normal RCA/phono audio connectors have two signal paths. *Sometimes* (perhaps even often) the shield is used as a signal path, i.e. the cable is single core. A fairly common wiring layout for home-built cables is to use dual-core cable for the signal and to connect the shield to ground at one end only.
