<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
GstElement is the base class needed to construct an element that can be
-used in a GST pipeline. As such, it is not a functional entity, and
+used in a GStreamer pipeline. As such, it is not a functional entity, and
cannot do anything when placed in a pipeline.
</para>
<para>
-All GstElements have a list containing the #GstPad structure for all their
-inputs and outputs. These can be added with gst_element_add_pad() or
-gst_element_add_ghost_pad(), and retrieved by name with
-gst_element_get_pad(), or in a list form by gst_element_get_pad_list().
+The name of a GstElement can be get with gst_element_get_name() and set with
+gst_element_set_name(). For speed, GST_ELEMENT_NAME() can be used in the
+core.
+Do not use this in plug-ins or applications in order to retain ABI
+compatibility.
</para>
<para>
-gst_element_connect() is a convenience function provided to make it
-simpler to connect pads of two elements together.
+All elements have pads (of the type #GstPad). These pads link to pads on
+other elements. Buffers flow between these linked pads.
+A GstElement has a GList of #GstPad structures for all their input (or sink)
+and output (or source) pads.
+Core and plug-in writers can add and remove pads with gst_element_add_pad()
+and gst_element_remove_pad().
+Application writers can manipulate ghost pads (copies of real pads inside a bin)
+with gst_element_add_ghost_pad() and gst_element_remove_ghost_pad().
+A pad of an element can be retrieved by name with gst_element_get_pad().
+A GList of all pads can be retrieved with gst_element_get_pad_list().
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Elements can be linked through their pads.
+If the link is straightforward, use the gst_element_link()
+convenience function to link two elements, or gst_element_link_many()
+for more elements in a row.
+Use gst_element_link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by
+a specified set of #GstCaps.
+For finer control, use gst_element_link_pads() and
+gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on
+each element by name.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Each element has a state (see #GstElementState). You can get and set the state
+of an element with gst_element_get_state() and gst_element_set_state().
+You can wait for an element to change it's state with gst_element_wait_state_change().
+To get a string representation of a #GstElementState, use
+gst_element_state_get_name().
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()
+and gst_element_set_clock(). You can wait for the clock to reach a given
+#GstClockTime using gst_element_clock_wait().
