You are welcome.

Gstreamer project is during large rework now. To build gst-plugins CVS
HEAD you should use BRANCH-GSTREAMER-0_8 of gstreamer. Or you can use
gst-plugins-base to build with gstreamer-0.9. I hope that everything
became normal after few days.

The sense of the error is that GstClockEntryStatus was removed from
gstclock.h from gstreamer, but corresponding code in gst-plugins is not
ported to that change yet. gstclock.h is included from
gst/gstsystemclock.h that in theory should be included in audioclock.h
and thus in audioclock.c. It's always useful to grep code for
declaration to find if something missing
