If pspec was NULL, it wouldn't be crashing in strcmp(), but in
gst_property_probe_get_property(), would it? So I don't really see how your fix
makes sense.

> strcmp crashes if either argument is NULL.

It might also crash if either argument is a bogus pointer or a pointer to freed
memory, or memory corruption occured that makes strcmp read beyond the
allocated memory etc.
