Your AlienBBC install looks OK since your gets lots of stations and the
log shows it tries to play the right URL.

Your RTSP settings look OK - only RTSP->WAV should be ticked.  This is
because CPU power of smaller system (e.g. DS-106) doesn't have the
power to re-encode WAV stream into MP3 or Flac on the fly.  It is also
the reason why there is a an error where it can't find "mplayer.sh" -
that custom-convert.conf file entry was not updated to use
mplayer-stdout since it will never be used on SSODS.

The bit in the log I find strange is

Code:
--------------------
    
  pcm:nowaveheader:file=- 
"rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra" 
2>/dev/null

--------------------


SS has started to try to play RTSP (i.e. BBC stream) and then it
suddenly starts looking for a WAV translation - I think this can happen
if there is a failure to start the "playing" app.

To run mplayer standalone try this.  You first need to "cd" to the
directory which has the mplayer-stdout binary

Code:
--------------------
    
  ./mplayer-stdout -cache 64 -ao pcm:file=/dev/null  -playlist 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.rpm
  
--------------------


If it runs and elapsed time increments then mplayer has access to BBC .
