Default oil filled capacitor

Are (non paper)oil filled run capacitors good for audio signals?

I believe that Tom is referring to the accuracy of the stated values.
It would not be a good idea to have different (actual value) capacitances on each channel in a stereo setup for example.

Sorry Tom if I am wrong here. You may hit me now.
Ow!! Not that hard!!
