What about SAP?

Is this going to be used for advertising other endpoints such as stream
outputs?

Are there consumers interested in and readily able to use those
advertisements? I imagine HTTP streams would be straightforward to
consume (just play it), but what with something as custom as VLC's web
interface? Are these advertised objects supposed to adhere to some
specifications or register?
