That is not true: RGB is not some sort of "canonical" format
in DirectShow and most filter will work in YUV just as well.

Nothing: it's not the source filter's job to display
anything. The source filter just outputs its data, then some
other filter in the graph will render it. All you need to do
is write the live push/capture source filter for your webcam
(or driver supported by the VFW wrapper, the WDM wrapper or
the KS proxy), then the video renderer will be connected
automatically when the application builds the rendering
graph.
