Crosstalk and noise issues...

With that design the left and right channel's signal wires would be twisted together and a major crosstalk issue will be a result (the soundstage will collapse, big time), and the cable when wired that way would not involve a noise cancellation geometry. The drain wire you intend to use as a common return runs parallel to the twisted signal wires and the twisted signal wires would not provide noise cancellation as a twist is designed to do. A single channel's signal and return wires need to be twisted together in order to provide noise cancellation. You would be much better off using a proper stereo pair of cables joined at the 3.5mm stereo mini-plug.
