Wow that was an elusive one- took me quite some tinkering to get to the heart of it. Inside the .js file, find and remove the code in red:
Code:
config.onslideaction=(typeof config.onslide=="undefined")? function(){} : function(beltobj){$(beltobj).stop(); config.onslide()} //attach custom "onslide" event handler
I can't remember why now I opted to stop the animation of the carousel each time onslide() was called, but there probably was a good reason, so in case you uncover any issues after removing the above, let me know. In the meantime, that should take care of the issue you were having.
