Any reasons why this patch is not applied? http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-January/035264.html
This is one of the major headaches for users trying to get programs requiring direct CD-ROM drive access to work. And it's nearly impossible to get required information from users to find if the direct access actually works or not.
I think you should distinguish the case of no device at all from the case of a SCSI ioctl failing, for instance loop mounts wouldn't support the ioctl but would still work fine for many things. Also the no device case needs to be less scary, there's nothing wrong with it for most devices. And the strings need to be in resources.
