Itunes does not understand flac, Squeezebox 2 and slimserver does. Squeezebox
will transcode to wav for playback, but SB2 will play flac natively. 
Slimserver also includes a podcast browser, which you can point to your
favourite broadcasts.  iTunes integration allows you to load metadata about
your tracks into slimserver.  Since you have entirely FLAC files, this part is
useless to you.  As is the loading of playlists, which you will not be able to
create in iTunes, since it doesn't (and probably will never, thanks to their
'open' minds) understand flac.  ITunes podcasts are presented as a special
playlist in slimserver, directly accessible via the web interface and through
'browse music' in the player interface.
