You gave me the right hint: I set up a media_list_player, but no 
media_player.

Now I realized that creating a media_player with libvlc_media_player_new 
with the Java bindings is not possible at all! The constructor of the 
Java class MediaPlayer invokes libvlc_media_player_new_from_media but 
not libvlc_media_player_new. I solved the problem by adding another 
constructur to MediaPlayer, which creates a media_player instance by 
calling libvlc_media_player_new. Now playing a media_list works fine.
