Should be nothing stopping Macheads from using it
Firstly, bite the bullet. Install Windows Media Player for the Macintosh (http://www.microsoft.com/mac). Try that, firstly in Safari than in MacIE.
Also, try http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/ . It may have a browser plugin. Which should work in every OSX browser, in theory. That said, Adobe's browser plugin is locked to Safari even though all the other browsers use the one standard.
MPlayers browser plugin on Linux works better than WMP in Firefox on Windows XP, for instance
If its trying to lock you out due to browser or OS, use Opera or another browser like it that can fake the browser user agent. This can pretend that you're using IE6SP2 on Windows XP on Intel, if you want it to.
