Here's what i can tell you:
CDPlayers by default, no matter what the platform is, use the cd-rom's(the hardware) CDPlaying abilities. Your cd-rom is hookedup to your sound card, and can play any sound cd just like a cd/casette stereo or boombox or something would.

So that is why Windows Media Player won't play a networked CD on your system because it's playing it on the networked drives system(you can't hear).

In order for you to hear it, it'd have to read the raw track, just like most 'cd rippers' do, and then send that data over the network.

That's a lottof bytes to be rippin' and sendin' on the fly.

I doubt you'll find a workable solution, much less a pure perl one(I looked it's all 'bout 3rd party libs sorry;(*wah*).
