All of it, including the mplayer -v log. Too much information isnt
a problem as it can be skipped, but not enough is as we cant read
minds and not guess what's going on. You might want to check
my bugreports on -advusers (though there are mostly minimal,
as i mostly know what information is needed by the developers)

You have to send B4.1, B4.2 and B4.6 in case of a crash

This list is just fine.

That depends on your problem, tough most things
are covered by bugreports.html. In case we really need
more information we will ask for it.

lol
Dont worry, you may be a noob, but an intelligent one.
You know at least where to look for information and ask
before annoying people.
Just have a look on how many RTFb (Read the fucking bugreports.html)
i have to write, just because people are too lazy.
