I didn't consider sound, but you're right on all counts. It would be unreasonable to expect a PAL50 game to look, sound, and behave exactly like its NTSC cousin or vice-versa. This was the main reason I added PAL60 support, where there is only a slight shift in color palette, but no other difference.
