Trademark law allows companiess to indicate the origin of products and services by giving rights for use, and/or registration, of words or images that indicate origin.
Use is not necessarily infringement.
I think here there is a genuine chance of confusion, so the disclaimer (in the website footer) is wise.
In domain names it's established precedent that there is always confusion unless the trademark is compounded - GitHubAudio.com might be fine - but if challenged then I think the github.audio domain would be handed over (by a EU or USA court).
Morally I find this domain causes obvious confusion and shouldn't be used: monitor github.audio, or something that isn't solely someone's else's RTM (for the same registered use) before the tld would be more clearly moral, IMO.
