it's a known bug which i believe is fixed in current SVN.

until the next release you could either try matju's suggestion, or try
sending a "colorspace yuv" to [pix_video].

if this works, chances are high that you have a lower processing
overhead than using [pix_colormatrix].

because the color is already wrong. [pix_yuv] and [pix_rgba] are
designed to give you (nearly) the same result, only in a different
colorspace.

the trick above (requesting "yuv" from [pix_video]) works (well, if it
does), because the image acquisition code for RGB32 is a broken while
the YUV acquisition code is not.
(using [pix_yuv] after [pix_video] is already too late)

unfortunately, my suggestion might as well _not_ work in your specific
case, since loopback devices  will often only ofter their format in one
single colorspace.
