In wall "requires" plenum, in case of fire.

This is pure copper, at 14AWG, in a jacket rated for direct burial. You could use this to power outdoor low-voltage devices as well as speakers. (Lack of plenum makes this likely against code for indoor use.) You could even push serious amperage (i.e. 12V/15A electrical current) through this wire, but again, code requires almost all electrical runs include a true ground, and speaker wire only ever has two wires inside of it, so it's generally not recommended for anything but low voltage.
Speaker wire is also (generally) stranded vs. solid, and while that doesn't change the capabilities of the wire very much, it's much harder to work with stranded wire (IMO) for electrical applications, because you really, really don't want any part of that wire shrugging loose.
