I usually use mplayer (or gmplayer) for Quicktime but I think things are
pretty much the same for Xine and mplayer in that if one works the other
should. Starting mplayer (or gmplayer) from a console (or xterm) gives a
lot of info, try that and see if the output gives you any clues.

For what it's worth, most of the BBC stuff is Realplayer and works well
with the latest version.
