The only way to make wmp play vlc stream is to use the asf muxer with http 
access.
Just modify your command line to :
vlc -vvv
v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:frequency=196250:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=1:samplerate=48000
--sout
'#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{
dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,url=192.168.0.94:80}}' --ttl 12

You can use DIV3 codec or WMV1/2 , didn't tested with others . maybe mpga 
will do the trick .

good luck
