[vbox-dev] Troubleshooting a USB capture issue with multiple devices.

[Ribhi Kamal]

Thanks Klaus,
My answers below.

It has been a while since I did this test. At that time, I was going
through the code of vboxsvc and it was starting to look like a locking
issue (for all operating systems). Since then a lot of the USB code/locking
seem to have been moved around or reworked. I was hoping that it solved the
problem.

Obviously I'll have to do everything all over again... that's what I get
for not keeping notes :(

Correct All SC readers are USB V1 or 2.

And my test environment does not have any USB 3.0 controllers nor devices.

off. I will troubleshoot this further.
