This is by design. The linux kernel offers basically 2 ways to support
joysticks:
- An older interfaces that is available with devices at /dev/jsX
- A newer interface that is available with devices at /dev/input/eventX

The older interface works better in a few cases and the newer interface is
generally better and adds support for force-feedback technology and more
sophisticated devices.

Wine offers both interfaces for each joystick, in order to disable one of them
you can open wine control panel and click the joystick applet, or type in the
console "wine control joy.cpl".

This usually does not affect games unless the game attempts to auto-configure
each joystick for each player, which is the case of the games you are testing.

This is not common-sense, so should be documented somewhere in the wiki and I
think we can retarget this bug for that.
