As another late-comer, hate to ask a possibly old question but will this added protocol allow usb devices from arbitrary "remote" hosts to be redirected or only from the host running the spice client? I recently tried to use the native qemu usb functionality to pass-through a webcam and fell flat on my face due to what others described as "timing issues", and was wondering if it would be possible to pass a USB device plugged in to the vm-host to the vm-guest using your new functionality, even though a third (and unrelated) host is running the spice client. I guess this is moot if the new approach will not fix the aforementioned "timing issues" (i.e. perhaps it is not possible in a general case to drive an arbitrary USB device non-locally).
