It could be anything, .cue+.bin is a common CD-ROM image format. (S)VCD is
very likely though.

I just had the same problem. AFAICT you have basically two options:
a) Burn the .bin on a CD-R and watch it in Xine. Works like a charm, but
it wastes time and a CD-R.
b) Install vcdimager, and abuse vcdxrip:
vcdxrip -p --nosegments --nofiles -o /dev/null -b <your-bin-file-here>
That produces an MPEG file in the current dir, which can be played fine in
Xine. Again, there is a time penalty.
I'm currently thinking if I should raise this issue on a Xine mailing
list. Maybe I'm just missing something, or maybe we could add that feature
to Xine easily (it can the final VCD after all).
