I think having a v6-only cable would be fine.

Initially we wouldn't be doing much media stuff; especially as I'm not sure 
what the real-life status of v6 multicast is. We might look into unicast 
bridging of UDP traffic, but initially that could be in multiples of 
256Kbps audio stuff. I don't have a good feel for actual numbers for this, 
but it's TCP-based control traffic.
