What am I doing wrong?

SUSE 10.1 Slimserver 6.2.2

The actual command runs ok on my SuSe 9.3 system so check out.

1. Is mplayer in /usr/bin
2. Can you run the mplayer command from a shell prompt.
3. Check protections, user id etc. for mplayer, mplayer.sh and /dev/fd. Make sure all AlienBBC files have same userid etc as the main slimserver.

I think they changed the link.
http://www.wkar.org/metafilz/wkarfm.ram
works now. I was using
rtsp://red-cedar.wkar.msu.edu/encoder/wkarfm.rm

That URL uses an old RealAudio codec ATRAC3 which is not built into mplayer so you need to have loaded the essential codecs library.

The first time your mplayer terminated probably because it couldn't find the external codec.

The .ram URL resolves down to
rtsp://red-cedar.wkar.msu.edu/encoder/wkarfm.rm
which is the same as the first time so that it not the issue.
