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.
