Hi:

If the length of coax is less than about 1/10 of a wavelength then you can approximate it with lumped elements, so the Zo is not that important.
The impedance of coax is NOT a constant, so when used for audio you need to look at more parameters than just the nominal impedance.

Some more thoughts on impedance.

I had a discussion with some EE professors about coax cable, impedance, loss, loss due to the "wrong impedance" and one suggested this article:

I doubted the claimed loss due to mismatch, until I worked out the Telegraphers Equation for myself.
