Well, I don't even know if this happens with analog sticks as well, I
normally see it with digital ones.

You can define this in the share/defaults.conf file.

player1_control {
  joy_no 2
  joy_threshold 32767
}
player2_control {
  joy_no 3
  joy_threshold 16000
}

You can use joy_no -1 to disable joystick control for a player. The
joy_threshold option is not needed for digital joysticks (and set to a
reasonable default value).
