Well, since you did ask to be flamed...


6 days isn't long around here.  You're much too impatient.  

Most people aren't willing to sit around staring at ads for 60 seconds,
before they are allowed to start downloading a sample file...

You even say that your problem is Windows-specific.   There is a
windows-specific mailing list (mplayer-cygwin), and this is not it.

Your bugreport is missing a few things listed in the bugreport docs, for
instance "[BUGREPORT]" in the status line, which would make it stand-out
from the noise.

Top posting (and quoting your entire pervious message) is very annoying.

When someone hasn't taken the time to read what and where they should be
reporting, it takes much less time (for me) to ignore them, than it
would to flame them...  Seems fair, doesn't it?
