You don't have to set the source again.Just set the position of the mediaelement to the start on the media_ended event

 private void MediaElement_MediaEnded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            ((MediaElement)(sender)).Stop();
            ((MediaElement)(sender)).Position = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0);
            ((MediaElement)(sender)).Play();
        }

You may need to set MediaElement.LoadedBehavior to Manual

EDIT

I have tried loading an asf file with the REPEAT tag and its working fine

But i think the inbuilt playlist handling mechanism of mediaelement has some flaws.I recommend following the workaround mentioned in the below link
