Hi Federico, I'm glad it 13.04 works for you. Yes, I have a Lubuntu 13.10 tarball already. I am testing it, mainly the portability to various computers, before uploading it. I hope to upload it within a few days.
The latest improvement was to add pulseaudio and pavucontrol to make the sound work in a Dell Dimension 4600 (where almamixer didn't find the Sound Blaster card [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X).
