"So I ran winetricks: dragonage in wineskin and first physx installed (like it 
should), but after a little bit it loops into:
sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
dd: /dev/sr0: No such file or directory"

This verb has to work around a wine bug by mounting from .iso
rather from the real disc.  Both the code for making a .iso
and the code for mounting it are probably busted on macosx.

I don't have a Macintosh but I looked at a few Web pages:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
man8/mount_cd9660.8.html

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
man8/mount_udf.8.html

http://macosx.com/forums/unix-x11/29334-what-cdrom-called-dev-directory.html

http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21940?viewlocale=en_US

Take-aways:

- ISO 9660 and UDF filesystems are mounted with types cd9660 and udf
- device names for CD-ROM drives can be things like /dev/sd2 and /dev/disk1
- removable media are normally auto-mounted under /Volumes/[disk title]

I see a comment above the winetricks_detect_optical_drive routine that says:

  # Really, should take a volume name as argument, and use 'mount' to get
  # mount point if system automounted it.

In this case, it would be under /Volumes/DragonAge or the like (I don't have 
the game).

Macintoshes ordinarily do auto-mount removable media. If we were to wait until 
that's happened, then do something like:

  mount | egrep "(udf|cd9660|iso9660|hsfs)" | cut -f3 -d\  | head -1

(there's a space character in the options to "cut") it ought to tell us the 
device name of the first optical drive that contains a medium. If there are 
multiple drives, the user would have to take out any other discs. We could 
check for this by using "wc -l" instead of "head -1" and prompt the user if it 
gives anything besides 1 as the answer. The "iso9660" and "hsfs" are for Linux 
and Solaris (on Solaris, UDF file-systems are called "udfs"). None of this will 
work on Cygwin.

About my suggestion of "head -1", it should say instead "head -n 1" for 
portability.

My incomplete list of functions which do not operate properly on MacOSX:

winetricks_list_mounts() - OSX uses BSD syntax for volume formats (cd9660, etc)
winetricks_is_mounted() - code expects linux formatting of mount output
winetricks_mount_cached_iso() - both directory structure and mount syntax are 
linux-specific
winetricks_mount_real_volume() - assumes system has /proc filesystem
w_umount() - umount assumes linux syntax - mac uses BSD mount/umount syntax

The code can be made general using BSD syntax, or Mac-specific leveraging 
/Volumes/* for "real" mounts.  For temporary mounts via sudo you might want to 
create a temporary mountpoint under the W_CACHE path.

Portal 2 will have a native Linux release very soon.
