There are reports of success using the Fairchild H11FxM
This Perkin Elmer document contains a good introduction to such devices: [http://denethor.wlu.ca/pc300/optoisolators/analogoptoisolatorintroduction.pdf Analog Optical Isolators: Vactrols]▼
A more complete Perkin Elmer 'databook' contains not only the spec sheets of the various types of Vactrols, but also has many useful 'application note'-type circuits of how they might be used: [http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/perkinelmer/VT500.pdf Photoconductive Cells and Analog Optoisolators (Vactrols)] (Note: current spec sheets are to be found at the Excelitas page linked below.)▼
There is also much useful info in the Wikipedia article: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrol#Resistive_opto-isolators Resistive opto-isolators]▼

▲There are reports of success using the Fairchild H11FxM [http://www.fairchildsemi.com/tree/optoelectronics/solid-state-relay-optocouplers/solid-state-relay/ Solid State Relay Optocoupler] family. These devices use a silicon photo-detector (rather than an LDR), which behaves like an FET, and so they don't suffer from the lag in response that LDR-based devices have, i.e. they can be modulated at audio rates!
