Extremely random ABL/TLB behavior in Majora's Mask (Pictograph hang)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Aquire majora's mask (verified in U)
2. Aquire the Pictograph box (use cheats if you must)
3. Take a picture with the pictograph

What is the expected output? 
The game should take the picture with a flash effect, then just as soon display 
the taken picture.

What do you see instead?
The emulator will appear to hang on a white/grey screen (depending on jabo 
1.6.0/1.6.1) for several seconds. Uncapping the framerate reduces the time 
leading me to believe its random timing misbehavior

Randomly, every so many starts of the emulator, the pictograph will be taken 
almost instantly.

a rather unusual oddity about it is that Creatives Alchemy resolves this but 
ONLY with the 1.6.1 plugins for sound and video in a self compiled version.

the official 1.6 executable semi hangs in every case.

zilmar audio also works, as long as alchemy's dsound.dll is renamed(so not in 
use)
