I'm astonished nobody pointed this out (maybe I just missed it): 
-dumpstream will not give you a real .mpg, no matter how you call the 
file. Instead you will get a .vob. I have no clue if wmp plays .vob files 
but if it does, maybe the file needs to have the correct suffix, so try 
renaming it.
Can a .mpg even contain ac3-audio? If yes, try to remux to real mpg:
mencoder dvd://3 -chapter 10-10 -of mpeg -aid 0x80 -ovc copy -oac copy -o 
test.mpg
