The support for colorspace in gstreamer plugin is well under active 
development.
We have a Google Summer of Code intern who is working on this specifically.

libcamera has a commandline utility `cam` (under src/cam/). Not sure how 
easily
one can compile on PinePhone platform but I would give it try to run  that
as the first step.

Others (with PinePhone hardware) might pitch in soon.
