Ok, it turns out that WMP is compliant with the specs after all. MPEG system 
streams (ISO/IEC 1172-1) must have at least 1 system header at the 
beginning of the stream.
But afaik there isn't such a requirement for MPEG PS streams so I guess 
Xine's demuxer isn't following the specs. Anyway, I implemented support for 
system headers in the MPEG PS muxer so it will hopefully solve the problem.
