I think I'm going to do this, if there are no outcries, just because the
API coverage is more complete.

Indeed it's optional. It is necessary, however, for the case where the
app runs in the same thread as the pipeline and it does things while
it's waiting for the time. That's why GstAudioClock implements it (for
oss plugins, sndfile plugins, and esd at the moment). I hope this
convinces you of its usefulness :)

Wingo, whose emails are always asynchronous.
