I don't have a Mac so the following is my best guess - I expect some
other Mac/AlienBBC user to pitch in.

I think there is a mixture of versions of AlienBBC on your system and
you have installed a version for 6.2 because in Slimserver 6.5 the file
slimserver-convert.conf is no longer in the Slim directory but is called
convert.conf in the  Plugin/Alien directory.  

So I suggest, first get mplayer working, then delete the Plugins/ALien
folder and re-install AlienBBC 1.01 for 6.5

Install mplayer using the version 15th March at then end of the mplayer
page under the "Download Mac" 
http://www.x2systems.com/alienbbc/mplayer.html
AFAIK to install,  unpack the mplayer file and copy it to
/usr/local/bin - don't forget to set permissions and ownership as per
your own system.

There is only one file needed with this new version so you can ignore
all the other info about codecs.  Also there is no need to edit the
convert.conf file.

Test mplayer that it works from a Terminal, for example.

Code:
--------------------
    mplayer -playlist 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio2/paul_jones.rpm
  
--------------------


Now Install AlienBBC from this link
http://www.x2systems.com/alienbbc/alienbbc_1.01.linux-6.5.tar.gz

A problem with this distribution has been found wrt recent versions of
OSX and it needs the mplayer.sh file to be edited.  Change the line
app=mplayer 
to
app=/usr/local/bin/mplayer
