Oh boy, Sonic CD is just great, isn't?. I still have my SegaCD disk (yeah, I had a SegaCD and a 32X too, how much I miss those, Sewer Shark, Heart of Alien...).
I not usually recommend this, but since you have the CD, Sega does not make profit with Sonic CD and it won't even work on Windows anymore, there's still another way... It's to download a SegaCD's Sonic disk and play through an emulator. I really don't think it's never going to work either with Windows or Wine for that matter. I've did it, played Sonic through emulator and it runs great with both CD's and Iso's of Sonic. You most likely will find an iso + mp3 combo and it will work .
You can download gens (Sega Megadrive, 32X and SegaCD emulator) here:

Rep:
did you try making the directory C:\SEGA/SONICCD for it beforehand? you could also try winex, a version of wine tweaked for games: http://transgaming.com
if you want it for free: http://transgaming.org
I tried WineX, and it allowed me to install it, but I still can't figure it out.
Do I have to manually navigate to /home/user/.wine/fakewindows/SEGA/SONICCD/SONICCD.EXE every time?
That's annoying!!! Doesn't it register it with the command line so I don't have to do that every time?
I tried the above and it didn't work. I tried to run SONICD.EXE from the CD, but it gives me error messages about "DINO2D.DLL" and crashes before the game can run. I then copied DINO2D.DLL to ./fakewindows/windows and system32 in the same folder, still won't work. This is agrivating.
I'd be willing to try to do the emulator thing but how can I P2P in Linux?

You could add it to an env variable.
I forget the command, but its like...
"$SONIC=/home/user/.wine/fakewindows/SEGA/SONICCD/SONICCD.EXE
export $SONIC
wine $SONIC"
I.. think that would work.. been a while lol
As for your wine issues, I don't know. I have issues with wine as well, though microsoft word seems to work fine on it =)
I do recommend you try to install directx on your fake windows installtion, if SONICCD uses directx...
