This is a feature request. Thank you for creating this awesome software!

I would like to share arbitrary USB devices between the Barrier server and the clients.

Possibly this could be set to either automatically switch based on the screen the mouse is on or via a hotkey.

My use case would be sharing a USB sound card, USB dongles for software or USB label printers.

There's an USB/IP implementation for Windows but I don't know if it's at all possible to integrate this into Barrier.

This is possible only in theory. In practice this would be extremely difficult.
