It's a phone line with no dialtone. They will assign a phone number to it but you can't dial out and can't receive calls. You can then get DSL over this dry loop from an ISP, at least we can where I live.
Here's a how-to for assembling your own relatively high-quality cables that can be used for both audio and component video and that cost peanuts to make. Since component video is way more demanding than audio (greater bandwidth requirements) any component video cables should easily handle audio duty. The how-to is squarely aimed at soldering newbies but is useful nevertheless.
