I don't believe it's that easy (although it could be if there were drivers out there). In the past, there were 2 methods used:

1. Live screen capture, by having the cameraview loaded, and another app to capture that region of the screen.

2. Use the video out feature into a video card that supports a videoIn signal; and that video card may have support for input-to-streaming data.

There's an inherent problem - your camera runs on batteries - and to get the AC adapter, you might as well buy a cheap webcam, which WILL be properly supported (and probably less expensive to boot ! ).
