Yep I also wouldn't put any kind of power line in with data cables
I've got a bundle of cables in my ducting including coax, telephone, network but even those is pushing what should be done. But doesn't seem to be posing any noticeable problems.
Would certainly though avoid it where possible. In my case I've also got 12v CCTV power cables. Which shouldn't be there really. But because it's on a separate circuit and isolated by transformer and is not a fluctuating voltage it shouldn't be too bad.
But definitely avoid mains electrical cables as every time you switch on a light switch or appliance.. Especially things with motors like vacuum cleaners.. It causes electrical interference which will interfere with data cables..speaker cables are probably worst for interference as the electrical current is constantly changing and pulses..
