Of course you can make audio CDs from your ogg files. But I don't know if 
there's a burning program yet that does the decompression automatically, like 
some fancy burning programs do it with mp3. But you can simply decompress the 
ogg files for instance with ogg123 (commandline) or xmms (disk writer output) 
to wav files and burn the wav files. 
This gives you audio CDs that all CD players can read, with 74 minutes per 
CD. 
You can also burn your ogg files directly on a cdrom (without decompressing = 
800 minutes per CD), but then you can only play them back on your computer 
right now. AFAIK there's no disk mp3 player yet that can play ogg files. But 
there will be in the future. The Iomega hipzip for instance is a solid state 
mp3 player that will support ogg in the future (prototypes have been sighted).

In the last email in reply to Henri I forgot to mention Grip. It's a GUI 
ripper and encoder that can use oggenc for compressing to ogg, just like it 
can use lame to compress to mp3.
