I don't think so, and in fact an em dash would be much less confusing.
audio, e.g. music
audio — like music

Oh maybe I did just misread the intent of the sentence? I read it as "something like audio" but yeah that is confusing since that would be all music.
That's a suffix word though, not a pause.
Hyphens should be used to link compound/suffix words, not em dashes.
Agreed that hyphens should be used to indicate compound words, but you're saying that "audio-like" is an intended compound word? Then it's an adjective, modifying "music"? What would that mean?
That was my initial reading and I may have just misread it as them intending it to be compound rather than an aside modifier.
Well okay, not a "compound" per se, but it's a prefix/suffix, which similarly should use hyphens.
