+ * Caps (capabilities) are lightweight refcounted objects describing media types.
* They are composed of an array of #GstStructure.
*
* Caps are exposed on #GstPadTemplate to describe all possible types a
* function. This function describes the possible types that the pad can
* handle or produce at runtime.
*
- * Caps are also attached to buffers to describe to content of the data
- * pointed to by the buffer with gst_buffer_set_caps(). Caps attached to
- * a #GstBuffer allow for format negotiation upstream and downstream.
- *
* A #GstCaps can be constructed with the following code fragment:
*
* <example>
* </example>
*
* A #GstCaps is fixed when it has no properties with ranges or lists. Use
- * gst_caps_is_fixed() to test for fixed caps. Only fixed caps can be
- * set on a #GstPad or #GstBuffer.
+ * gst_caps_is_fixed() to test for fixed caps. Fixed caps can be used in a
+ * caps event to notify downstream elements of the current media type.
*
* Various methods exist to work with the media types such as subtracting
* or intersecting.
