        * gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_validate_name),
          (gst_structure_new_valist), (gst_structure_parse_value),
          (gst_structure_from_string):
          Don't crash in _from_string() if the structure name is not valid
          (fixes #501560).  Allow structure names to start with a number
          again (this apparently broke the ubuntu codec installer).

        * tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST), (GST_START_TEST),
          (GST_START_TEST):
          Add unit test for the crash; update unit tests for new behaviour.
