I've been discussing my improvements with upstream and as upstream only does 
windows, I've prepared a new release for upstream, note this currently is a 
proposed new release, but I expect upstream to pick it up:
http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/sfxr-sdl-1.1.tar.gz

Quoting from the ChangeLog:

sfxr-sdl-1.1
------------
* Various small improvements and 1 bugfix by Hans de Goede
  <hdegoede@redhat.com>:
 * Fix a small bug in the audio setup which could cause a quite noticable
   delay between pressing a button and hearing the sound
 * Add an icon and a .desktop file (applications menu entry)
 * Add a make install target, note:  hardcoded to /usr but it does understand
   the DESTDIR make parameter

Regards,

Hans
