I noticed that the command line qemu and qemu-kvm offer a number of

such as using vmware display and addition sound card emulation as compared to
that when using virt-manager.
Are there any plans to add these as options to virt-manager?
Setting a video card model (vmware, vga, etc.) support was just added to
libvirt yesterday, I've already started working on virt-manager support.
For sound card emulation, virt-manager should provide the important stuff (at
least the latest virt-manager version). What qemu option in particular do you
want?
As a more general question, is there some document which describes
the plans,
roadmaps, etc. for Fedora Virtualization (or should I say Linux Virtualization
since it does apply to other distributions as well)?
No real centralized place. virt-manager has a roadmap here:
http://virt-manager.org/page/Roadmap
Though I really don't stay on top of it as much as I should.
You can also check out proposed fedora virtualization features here:

I pick up tid-bits in various messages and bug reports such as
libvirt
supporting vmware and "pool storage" providing some improvements but I do not
have an overall picture as to what is planned. While developers may do some
things sooner rather than later because they are easy to do, we users may have
some preferences as to what features/capabilities are more important to us
than others.
If there are features you want, the best thing to do (besides scratching your
own itch and implementing it yourself) is file a bug with as much info as
possible, so the request isn't lost in the fray. This will also allow other
people to 'me too' the feature. See:
