Generally speaking, is it a good idea to fish low voltage cables through a plumbing chase?
I want to specify that I was wondering about using the same cavity (A plumbing chase), not using the actual plumbing vent (DVW Pipe) itself.

Yes you can run low voltage and even mains voltage in the same cavity your plumbing is using.
I say this with the understanding that the cable is rated for the chase construction (some made out of brick / concrete the cable would have to be listed for use enclosed in brick or concrete).
