I've read in the howto's and I've searched on the forums but I can't figure out what SAP is.
I would appreciate if someone could explain it to me.

SAP is a protocol to announce Internet multicast conferencing sessions. A conference is announced by periodically multicasting a UDP announcement packet to a multicast address and port.
A SAP "listener" can pick them up and act as a program guide. VLC has a built-in SAP listener.
