avahi-daemon multiple procs?

I was wondering why avahi runs under multiple processes. So far it running on tow exposed network ports.

Code:
oliver-desktop:~$ pidof avahi-daemon
1158 1157
Code:
@oliver-desktop:~$ sudo lsof | grep 1158
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/oliver/.gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.

I have was playing with avahi about a month ago and noticed that it never ran on more than one pid. Also, why would it i have the standard port of 5353 ( should be listening here ) and 44225 ( have no idea on that one)?

Any help would be appreciated. I can run commands to see whats using what; however, I dont have the experiance to know if something is out of place.
