Additional Comments
During one the the first levels, the game may slow down to below 5 fps. If this is the case, turn off PhysX in the graphics settings. You probably have no GPU PhysX support or missing the relevant patches in Wine (which are not yet in mainline as of wine-3.4).
There's some solutions which may also apply to native Windows:
Remove the PhysX dlls bundled within the game install directories: They may be incompatible with modern graphics drivers. This will enable the game to use the system-provided PhysX dlls.
Install both PhysX and PhysX Legacy from NVIDIA, the former can be installed with "winetricks physx". The legacy version may be needed for older games like this.
Install and activate CUDA in Linux, add nvcuda wine patches. You need the proprietary Nvidia linux driver for this to work.

I also tried removing the OpenAL32.dll file in the game to use the system ones instead, but no luck there.

Htop also shows me that Mirrors Edge runs in two processes, and when killing one of them both dies.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Using xmonad on manjaro with wine version 1.7.7.

Physx had to be turned off, but otherwise, runs absolutely GREAT!
I even made a step-by-step guide on how to install, configure and run Mirror's Edge:

PhysX can be disabled in the options menu and only seems to be used to make the glass leave behind shards when it shatters (maybe some other minor visual effects).
The Anti-aliasing option is disabled (I think I have the same thing in other games).
Alt+Tabbing sometimes causes the graphics to freeze (although input and sound keeps going). Although if you die or manage to quit to the main menu it resumes.
