Hi, I've got a half-baked idea, which I thought might be worth mentioning.
How hard would it be to give qemu a usbredir server rather than client? It would have nothing guest visible but would look logically like the front (?) half of a usb interface; then you could use all of the existing qemu emulated and passthrough device code, to build a usb hierarchy and present it to a remote qemu. You'd get the ability to do emulated USB CDROM/storage, audio, network and the glue for host USB connection (and smart cards??) - all in one client that you can then use for connecting to a remote qemu. The next step of that is to make something analogous to a qemu-storage-daemon, but for USB, so you have something that can do all that USB stuff without actually having any processors. The even crazier step would then be to add a VNC client, and then you have an almost complete remote client. Dave -- Dr. David Alan Gilbert / dgilb...@redhat.com / Manchester, UK
