Interesting. I just tried 1.2. The game runs at proper speed,
but stella-sound has trouble; the sound is intermittent and
not really usable as it doesn't sync with the game. Oh well,
back to 1.3 without sound.

Maybe my sound card is just too awful for your needs? It does
work fine with two other games (Ur-Quan Masters, and one
of my own which is using SDL sound).

I'll be sure to share it. Not sure you'll want it in the
form I've got it: I'm reading directly from /dev/mouse* 
devices, which turns out to be well-documented and easy
to do, whereas extra pointer devices in X itself are
a pain at best.
