Description Tony James 2016-10-21 19:19:14 UTC 
It would be helpful to have the ability to still use certain USB devices on a client even though they are shared with a guest.  For example, if I have a USB smartcard reader and have leverage USB redirection to present the smartcard reader to a vm I am no longer able to use this smartcard reader on my client system.

There is smart card support, that exactly provides this functionality, but not using USB share.
