Could it be possible to code a usb cam driver who can multiplex a video source to any software that needs it ?
a sort of “man in the middle” driver 🙂

If you need a Linux driver, look at the v4l loopback driver:

It should be possible to combine that with some userland code to do what you want.
For Windows, you can probably do something in user space using DirectShow.
