I noticed that the command line qemu and qemu-kvm offer a number of options 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: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:F12_Virt_Features
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: http://libvirt.org/bugs.html - Cole
