In Server Settings - file Types you tick the conversions that you want to allow, and untick ones you don't. If you allow more than one conversion type for a given input file type, slimserver will choose for you from a priority list which varies for each player type (depending on its capability). However none of the players have the ability to decode Apple lossless natively - you will have to transcode to FLAC, WAV or MP3 (not recommended). MP3s are always decoded natively.
