If the Apple Lossless files were definitely streaming to the player as Flac (and not MP3) then there *should* be no difference all.
It is a bit worrying that you have heard some. A perceived difference in sound quality can sometimes come as a result of a volume change. It does seem unlikely, but could it be that the flac files are louder? One other thing that springs to mind is if the ALAC files were volume limited by Apple's equivalent of Replaygain (I know nothing about Apple proprietary formats or what a Squeezebox can do with them). I'd be interested to know if your computer is particularly low spec? It's not entirely uncommon that that people report sound differences between formats that really should sound the same, flac and wav (raw pcm) for instance. These reports always intrigue me.
