None of the AlienBBC developers have an OSX system so AlienBBC
installation instruction for OSX have been written by users. 
Unfortunately it is hard to know when they go out of date. 

If you downloaded the mplayerhq mplayer - then you have installed the
GUI version as that is what is built for OSX - it includes the command
line mplayer but hidden.

To extract the command line mplayer executable from the distribution
package the advice from Danco for getting the PPC mplayer was below - i
think you need to look for the Intel version.

Alternatively - I think this is the executable you need but I can't be
sure as I don't have an OSX system. Unzip and install as per the other
mplayer.
