MPlayer can do it too.

I debated with my geek sons about this.

We resolved that it's much more obvious/intuitive to d/l clips and play
them offline.

The data has to arrive on our machines anyway, and it's cleaner to have
them where we put them than only in a cache somewhere...

That gave me normal access to S: but then I couldn't attach Dive Z: via RSJ.
So I removed the switches, and it looks like I will just have to use RSJ 
to attach the CDROM whenever I want to look at the contents of a CD.
