I had this working on FC3 at while ago, but can't seem to find my notes
now.  I currently have AlienBBC working on a CentOS 4.2 system, which is
Redhat/Fedora based.  The trick for me to get it working on CentOS and I
think also on FC3 was to install the w32codec on its own. I currently
have w32codec-1.0-9.2.el4.mok.i386.rpm installed on my system since I
use the Redhat EL4 repos. The closest one for FC3 that I found is here:

As for the version of mplayer, I would recommend using the pre7
version.  I am currently successfully using version
mplayer-1.0-52_pre7try3.el4.at.i386.rpm on my system. There is a FC3
version also availavble here: http://tinyurl.com/gqr8n

After you install them, make sure that mplayer can decode RealAudio
streams from the command line before you try and get AlienBBC working
in SlimServer.

Code:
--------------------
    * To test that the player works, run the following :
  mplayer rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra
  * You should see it connect and then start to decode; once it prints out
  'Starting playback', you know all's well.
--------------------


I think that is all that I had to do... Install mplayer pre7, the
w32codecs and extract AlienBBC to the plugins folder. If that doesn't
work for you, let me know and I'll dig a little deeper into my setup
and see if I changed or installed anything else.

PS: I would recomend installing via YUM instead of Fileroller so you
don't get stuck in dependancy hell.
