in Bin/mplayer.sh, change the first line from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash I still don't understand why this works, but it does, and I have a forehead-shaped dent in the wall from finding it. (I'm not the first to find it either, it's easy to Google for the answer once you already know it.) I have a Debian package of AlienBBC working alongside the Debian package for Slimserver. They'll be available as soon as the copyrights are sorted.
