Excuse me?
It has a web interface, if that is what you are asking.

Yes, that's what I'm asking about. My home server has all of my media which I use to stream to my laptop via samba since I've got a 128GB SSD and don't want to keep all that data on it. I've been trying to come up with a good solution to streaming that data to my wife's iPad and I think this seems to be the best one I've come accross.

Slimserver is an audio-only media streamer; when streaming to a device that isn't emulating a Squeezebox basically you have access to a "consume only" stream at http://yourserver:9000/stream.mp3. You can control the stream using the web interface.

If you choose to run Java on the iPad (not being an iPad user I don't know if that is an option) you can probably install SoftSqueeze, a Java based Squeezebox emulator, which will give you both audio and a different, perhaps preferable, UI.

I'm running several FreeBSD guests on VirtualBox under FreeBSD host Mostly for testing web applications.

Maybe I should use jail instead of VBox

I haven't got any of those iDevices myself, but Googling is easy enough. Here is a few things I found:
