Interesting. I find the idea of using spare USB 3 pins on the host side for a side channel an interesting idea for adding a debug channel etc.

This feels like a standard compromised into existance by host and device manufacturers arguing that silicon is expensive, and they don't want to implement that, let the other end do it. Now both ends do it.
I'm starting to think the standard is designed to keep everything as complicated as possible to guarantee that nobody not paying money to USB-IF can even begin to understand it and get working silicon out.

Oooooh, could be. :(

Anyway, the short circuit/overload protection stuff is pretty hand-wavey, and they don't even define maximum common-mode voltages, so honestly given that I wouldn't try to abuse SS signals for sideband anything. Even what Behringer is doing scares me now.
