..indeed, I checked Red Baron 3D and it seems to be using winmm:joyGetPosEx to
obtain the joystick data, so likely it is you've hit the nail on the head
here..
..(but I don't know OSX anywhere near well enough to meld in the needed code)..

...I've also checked a few other (dinput) titles with wine-1.3.23 and whereas
they didn't have joystick input before, now they do .. so that's a good win...
