OK, I have just 'located' everything mplayer and wiped it from the system, and then done a reinstall of the mplayer rpms.
The rpms still say they're not installed (but they are - so must be something wrong with the rpm header or something), and AlienBBC now all works! :-) First observation (with SB2) is that the spectrum display 'stutters' when playing AlienBBC stations. Switching the RTSP -> FLAC and RTSP -> WAV file conversions off (ie forcing MP3 streaming??) fixes this, but forcing a FLAC stream in a similar manner doesn't - which seems odd given the native FLAC decoding by the SB2 and that I haven't noticed this with FLAC music streams. Presumably the lame install is only required for MP3 streaming?

Everything works but nothing plays. The alien files are all present and correct, and mplayer is there and I can play a m3u playlist file. But I'm not sure about the 'essential codecs' package. I installed it using rpm -Uvh, but when I query it with rpm -ql it says it's not installed. But installing it using rpm -Uvh says it is installed! So I installed it (again) using rpm --force ivh, it unpacks but then rpm -ql says it's not installed :-( What's going on? Where should the 'essential codecs' be in the filesystem so I can check if they're there or not.
