File descriptor 9 and VLC.



While vlc is producing sound from M1357873276.WAV this 
is observed. 

peter@dalton:~$ lsof /home/peter/*.WAV
COMMAND   PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
vlc     10888 peter    9u   REG    8,6    20470 3612711 /home/peter/M1357873276.WAV

man lsof explains,
"The mode character is followed by one of these lock  charac-
  ters, describing the type of lock applied to the file:
  ...
  u for a read and write lock of any length;"
  
A write lock would prevent another process from writing to 
the file while vlc is working.

Can anyone tell me the meaning of file descriptor 9?

Thanks,                  ... Peter E.
