Playback in Kinect Studio without a sensor connected

Question

I would like to know if anyone has managed to playback recordings from the Kinect Studio (.XED files) when the Kinect Sensor is not connected to the computer, or if it's possible? The playback works as expected when the sensor is connected.

A quick Google search did not yield many results, and all I can find in the documentation is that:

"Kinect Studio must be used in conjunction with a Kinect for Windows application".

For those wondering why: I am going away for a week where it is not feasible to take the sensor with me, but I wish to continue development - I was hoping I could make a set of recordings to see me through the week...

Refer to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh855396.aspx It says,

There are four states the KinectStudio tool can be in:

Disconnected, no open file - idle Disconnected, file open - play the file in Kinect Studio Connected, no open file - mirror the Kinect-enabled application sensor output in Kinect Studio and record it Connected, file open - can play back the file into the Kinect-enabled application.

I did manage to playback my recorded data (.xed file) via the kinect studio without the kinect sensor.
