There is a whole thread about this issue here:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2009-October/079372.html

In few words: the problem is that simply fixing cdrom.c would not help. There
is more to be done, and a in year no one considered improving anything here. 

The result is that both wine and commercial CrossOver do not work properly with
CD-ROM and any Windows application trying to access Audio-CD would just freeze.
Also, CD will not get ejected from the windows app and unless the app is closed
along with wine, you can't eject the CD from Mac OS either.

Another issue is that Mac OS always mounts CD under it's volume label, and for
Audio CD it even uses internet lookup to get track names and album name, so it
again mounts the Audio CD under album name. The result is that winecfg would
arbitrary mount the same physical CD-ROM under different drive letters. 

So the issue is wider than just not being able to access the CD.
