[streaming] no ts mux for Mandrake?

VLC streaming via udp only supports the ts mux.
However, just this doesn't work with the Mandrake Linux distibution.
If you try to stream some video via udp, e.g. using the following command:
      sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=localhost:1234}}
you will get the error:
     main error: no sout mux module matched "ts"

When you run vlc --list, you don't find a
	ts and a mux_ts  module.

Looking at the distribution's files, this is not surprising, since the
Mandrake distribution vlc-0.8.0-0.test2.2mdk doesn't contain files
         /usr/lib/vlc/demux/libts_plugin.so  and
         /usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_ts_plugin.so

The Redhat distribution videolan-client-0.8.1-1.0.el2.rf.i386.rpm contains
files
         /usr/lib/vlc/demux/libts_plugin.so and
         /usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_ts_plugin.so
Copying them to /usr/lib/vlc/demux and /usr/lib/vlc/mux and running vlc leads to the result, that
          /usr/lib/vlc/demux/libts_plugin.so and
          /usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_ts_plugin.so
are mentioned in your ~/.vlc/vlcplugins file (-- so vlc actually finds the plugins! -- ),
but vlc --list doesn't show them and they are still not available, when you like to stream.

Has anybody an idea to enable vlc udp streaming (using ts mux)?
