Curses, I had forgotten that – and I was working with them last November!

I think enums must be treated differently to structs. In particular the audio
library has an enum AudioChannelPosition and there is a function
gst_audio_channel_position_get_type. However I cannot find any G_DEFINE…
applied to AudioChannelPosition in the GStreamer source. Hopefully this is
just a problem with my use of grep.
