Mike Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-261:
---------------------------------------

The spice-glib API is pretty decent IMHO (and documented!), just very high 
level.

Feedback from the spice library folks when I initially discussed the 
limitations of the library and the possible need for us to implement our own 
was that spice is complex and doing so is not recommended.

The library seems to provide mechanisms for handling the connection process and 
providing our own file descriptors. Perhaps we could:

# Hook into low-level communication by providing our own file descriptors.
# Filter the data coming through those file descriptors, interpreting only the 
small subset of spice messages needed to add context to dirty rects.
