A windows installation already includes something to decode the stream.
On a non-windows machine a working installation of AlienBBC includes something to decode the stream. I believe it uses mplayer, but it may also use LAME. SiriusRadio will appear in the Server Settings-> Internet Radio page regardless of if AlienBBC is installed (once the plugin itself is installed). Yes it's easier on a Windows system to get everything working, but once everything is set up it shouldn't matter.
