The RH variety is inductive. For non-inductive, you want the NH series,
which Newark and Digikey do not seem to carry.

Is that inductiveness seriously likely to be a problem at audio
frequencies?

I just did a quick check with a 10 ohm 60 watt wire wound resistor and a
couple of other low value resistors.
Used a 100 MHz scope, function generator and Fluke 87 meter.

From low audio up to 20,000 Hz and a sine wave with the 10 ohm WW there did
not appear to be any noticable difference. When I switched to a square wave
I noticed a large spike on the leading and trailing edges, especially as I
went higher up in frequency. I did not see the spike with the resistor
removed from the test leads.

From this rough test, I would say that if using sine waves you could get a
close to true test, but if music or other odd ball waveforms then you would
want the noninductive types.
