so that was not so clear?

usually none

half signal level (due to the ear characterstic, not very dramatic)

fundamental, unless the two outputs are the same. Even then you may 
get distortion by overcharging the outputs. Just imagine that they 
feed each other.

the caps that David mention seem useless if not a problem to me...
