True... As far as I know, there isn't any analog protection for analog audio (except making it sound really crappy... but who'd listen to it then?)
There is analog video protection (MacroVision), but there are boxes that allow you to circumvent it (*ahem*... "to clean up the video" ;) )
In my book, it's the classic NSA security problem: how you do make a code that is strong enough that most people can't decrypt it, but weak enough that they can? (I hope that's somewhat relevent...)
Just my 2 cents....
