<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GstClock
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Abstract class for global clocks
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
GStreamer uses a global clock to synchronise the plugins in a pipeline.
Different clock implementations are possible by implementing this abstract
base class.
</para>
<para>
The clock time is always measured in nanoseconds, with the clock being set
to 0 when the pipeline goes to READY. Usually all renderers sync to the global
clock so that the clock is always a good measure of the time in the pipeline.
