Okay the instructions didn't work for me and I didn't want to taint  my
intel native system. Here's what I did, although I'm not sure whether
this is safe/secure etc. I'm a bit of an apple newbie:

1. Download the intel native Mac OS X preview release of MPlayer
(http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html) and install using an admin
user

2. Download and extract the native version of lame from
http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp3/lame_3.97b2.dmg.zip. Stick it
anywhere for the time being.

3. Now this is the bit I didn't get: users don't have permissions to
write to /usr/local/bin my default and it's not on the system path. Can
someone explain why all the instructions say install here? So instead,
log on to Terminal as an Admin user (your default user may already have
admin rights). Copy the downloaded lame file that you have extracted in
to the /usr/sbin (this folder is on the system path) using: sudo cp
<extract location>/lame /usr/sbin

4. Create a link to the mplayer command using: sudo ln -s
/Applications/MPlayer\
OSX.app/Contents/Resources/External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/mplayer
/usr/sbin/mplayer

5. Using Finder copy the linux AlienBBC files to the appropriate
Slimserver folder. The slimserver folder can be located in
<home>/Library/SlimDevices

6. Restart slimserver from the preferences panel.
