Yes, xev shows events on press and release properly. I have

key-fifo-size = 2 # don't buffer keyboard input

in config. I uhh forgot why I did that but some change in mplayer forced
me to set that, because the way controls started to behave became
unbearable without that setting. I forgot why exactly, it was so long
time ago.

I tried key-fifo-size = 10, well now I can use mouse wheel *once* :o
If I turn wheel on two steps within a second, same problem happens.

key-fifo-size = 100 or no key-fifo-size option at all: same, trying to
turn wheel more than one step or tilting it to side twice fast creates
stuck button.
