Do you think there would be potential problems, considering the mic signals and headphone returns are on seperate snakes, but are sharing the same connector.
I just would avoid it if at all possible. Keeping things seperated and clean pays off both in operation and later troubleshooting/modifications. The convenience that you may derive from that scheme now will most likely be a problem later. That's the way I look at it.
