Hi, I managed to solve the problem. The source of the problem is Ubuntu's automounter. In order to get audio CDs recognized by wine, add the CD drive with proper mount point (like /media/cd1) to the file fstab (although audio CDs are not actually mounted). Pay close attention to setting proper permissions. Create the mount point directory, and assign proper permissions, too. Then winecfg 1.3.35 was able to detect the audio CD without the above mentioned insert-data-CD-first workarounds.
