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.
