Correct. Or actually Keep-Alive is irrelevant to the question. There
should be a Proxy-Authorization header carrying the user credentials
with the request when using Basic authentication.

It's doing Basic, at least on the allowed ones..

Maybe it works better if you use NTLM. IIRC we used mostly NTLM when I
tested last time... but I also have a memory of WMP maybe not
remembering the NTLM auth and popping up an auth request before access
to the media was allowed..

Seemns to be the case from your logs.
