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?

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:

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:
