  * You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()

  * Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if
- * gst_element_provides_clock() returns %TRUE. With the gst_element_provide_clock()
- * method one can retrieve the clock provided by such an element.

  * Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If
  * gst_element_requires_clock() returns %TRUE, a clock should be set on the
  * element with gst_element_set_clock().
