This has networking caveats. If you run the qemu binary directly as a regular user, the easiest setup is -net user, which doesn't actually have full networking capabilities. You'll want to study up before you take this route. > 2.

This has some caveats: no remote access via libvirt, the SDL console will pop up outside of virt-manager, and when the SDL window closes the guest will be forcibly powered off. I haven't tried this, but AFAIK sound should work. You can try changing the sdl audio backend in /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd from 'pa' (pulseaudio) to something else if you have issues.
