Yes, it works just fine. The only problem with it is if you need to flex it e.g. because you move your speakers around a lot (I realise most people don't !). Then it can fatigue and snap, usually at the connector. When I use it I usually run the earth in parallel with the neutral. I don't really need the extra copper, but since it's there it seems a shame to waste it .
