Synchronisation in a `GstPipeline` is achieved using the following 3

- Timestamps on a GstBuffer.

In GStreamer any element can provide a `GstClock` object that can be used
in the pipeline. The `GstPipeline` object will select a clock from all the
providers and will distribute it to all other elements (see
[gstpipeline](design/gstpipeline.md)).

## Timestamps
The GstBuffer timestamps and the preceding SEGMENT event (See
The `GstBuffer` timestamps and the preceding SEGMENT event (See
[streams](design/streams.md)) define a transformation of the buffer timestamps to
running\_time as follows:
The following notation is used:
**B**: GstBuffer
- B.timestamp = buffer timestamp (GST_BUFFER_PTS or GST_BUFFER_DTS)
**B**: `GstBuffer`
- B.timestamp = buffer timestamp (`GST_BUFFER_PTS` or `GST_BUFFER_DTS`)
**S**: SEGMENT event preceding the buffers.
- S.start: start field in the SEGMENT event. This is the lowest allowed
