I have the same setup as this - slimserver on Wired and Internet on
Wireless, but the music does not stream through the WLAN. My reason for
putting my slimserver PC on the wired Ethernet port of the SB was to get
more bandwidth for streaming FLAC files and making the SB display scroll
smoothly. The walls in my house are thick and the wireless router is
upstairs so the signal strength is not great. The setup works
perfectly, the only drawback is I have to have the wireless access
point switched on in order to make Wake On LAN on the slimserver work.

Once the slimserver is booted the wireless access point can be turned
off and the music still streams at 100Mbit/s.

I wish the Squeezebox would attempt Wake On LAN using both the wireless
and the wired connection as that would complete the setup.
