Yes, FLAC streams perfectly over UPnP as long as the UPnP server recognizes the FLAC files and reports them as being music. Not all UPnP server know about FLAC, though.
I'm using Rhythmbox on Linux with UPnP plugin as my media server at home and it handles FLAC just fine.

Car mode is the fullscreen mode in the music player. It's not there on the N900 yet.
