AlienBBC install is as per the instruction - the fiddly bit is with
mplayer.  A suitable prebuilt mplayer can be got from the mplayer sites
( http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html ).  Mplayer for OSX is
bundled with a GUI which is the "mplayer" which is seen when you
install this dmg.  You need to get at the command line maplyer which is
buried down a few levels.  Danco posted this advice about the mplayer
from mplayerhq.
