Assuming you already know how to set up squid delay pools,
the answer is relatively simple.  Whether a delay pool is
used or not is controlled by squid's delay_access 
configuration parameter.  You must _deny_ access to the
delay pools for anything site that isn't going to be
throttled.  Eg:

acl video url_regex ^https?://[^/]*[.]youtube.com/.*

.

.

delay_pools  1
delay_class  1
delay_access 1 allow video
delay_access 1 deny all
delay_paramaters 1 20000/10000
