It is not a bug in Wine but a missconfiguration in the used Linux distributions. A user cannot use a CD-ROM device in Wine, if he has no read access for this device.
To solve the problem, add the user to a group named "cdrom" (Fedora, Ubuntu, SUSE), "optical" (Arch Linux) or similar; log out, log in again, and it should work.
I'm sorry, I'm on gentoo and in the cdrom group. I can mount data-cds (entry in fstab), play music cds with vlc and so on. So I think my user has read access. And I can use virtual cdrom - device with EAC (generated by cdemu) and it has the same settings like the "real" cdrom.
New ideas?
