Do you get messages as AlienBBC tries to connect? If so, what are they?
Are you trying Listen Live, or an archived program?

What is your radio timeout set at? It's in the Network section of
Server Settings. If it's too low, the attempt may timeout before the
stream is ready.

I have occasionally had this issue myself (using 10.4.8) but it's
always worked properly a while later, and I have assumed it is
something odd about the BBC site that's happening for a few hours.

As for tesing mplayer, I forget the exact syntax, which is in the notes
IIRC, but if mplayer is in /usr/bin, then just running terminal and
typing mplayer followed by the suggested parameters (some mplayer
parameters plus the name of some program) will test it. From bpc's
comment and my memory, try just

mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.rpm
