Question: there is a way to start from a bam file instead of a fastq?

As in the title. If I have a huge bam file to subsample, passing to fastq require a lot of space. Is there a way to skip this passage on the go?
Thanks

Unfortunately, because rasusa requires two passes through the fastq it does not accept input from a pipe, so a fastq file is required.
