gst-python: Can't set channel positions with GstAudio.AudioInfo.set_format

Description
Hello, I'm trying to rewrite basic tutorial #8 (https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tutorials/basic/short-cutting-the-pipeline.html) in Python and in original C code we have lines:
GstAudioInfo info;
gst_audio_info_set_format(&info, GST_AUDIO_FORMAT_S16, SAMPLE_RATE, 1, NULL);
I've rewritten them as:
info = GstAudio.AudioInfo()
info.set_format(
format=GstAudio.AudioFormat.S16,
rate=SAMPLE_RATE,
channels=1,
position=None
)
According to documentation and source code of gst_audio_info_set_format last parameter position is nullable (for 1 and 2 channel setup).
Python documents type of position argument as GstAudio.AudioChannelPosition and nothing said if it accepts None, so with Python code above I will get an error: "Argument 4 does not allow None as a value".
I can't pass list of GstAudio.AudioChannelPosition instead - I will get "Expected a GstAudio.AudioChannelPosition, but got list". Isn't list of GstAudio.AudioChannelPosition an equivalent of GstAudioChannelPosition*?
Also it's weird why position in C code is annotated with fixed size of 64 when in fact 64 is the maximum size of channel positions array and channel count argument used to determine actual array size.
