No, ISO images are data CD formats. I'd either use a program like
cd-roast or K3B to burn an audio disk, or make a TOC (table of contents)
file and use cdrecord to make the audio disk.

Since you're already familiar with Ardour, this might be of some use:
   http://ardour.org/manual/export/cdtoc

A TOC file is a pretty simple thing that can be done quickly in a
simple text editor if you want. Here's an example from a project of
mine:

CD_DA
CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE_MAP {
    0 : EN
  }
  LANGUAGE 0 {
    TITLE "Big Society 6"
    PERFORMER "Big Society"
    COMPOSER ""
  }
}

TRACK AUDIO
COPY
NO PRE_EMPHASIS
CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE 0 {
     TITLE "Martyr's Life"
     PERFORMER "Big Society"
     COMPOSER "Tom Shields"
  }
}
PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "/tape/BigSociety/MartyrsLife/MartyrsLife.wav" 0

TRACK AUDIO
COPY
NO PRE_EMPHASIS
CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE 0 {
     TITLE "Dirty"
     PERFORMER "Big Society"
     COMPOSER "Tom Shields"
  }
}
PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "/tape/BigSociety/Dirty/dirty.wav" 0

TRACK AUDIO
COPY
NO PRE_EMPHASIS
CD_TEXT {
  LANGUAGE 0 {
     TITLE "Snails On the Move"
     PERFORMER "Big Society"
     COMPOSER "Tom Shields"
  }
}
PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "/tape/BigSociety/SnailsOnTheMove/SnailsOnTheMove.wav" 0

.... and so on.
