Hello,

It turns out that currently it is possible to use a socket to connect only for vnc.
It is due to 2 issues
  - virt-viewer does not work with recent listen element
  - spice needs to open more than 1 channel

The bug is simply reproducible by setting the graphics node to:

    <graphics type='spice'>
      <listen type='socket' socket='/tmp/spice.sock'/>
    </graphics>

Change the graphics type to vnc and virt-viewer connects without issues.

  virt-viewer: Support newer libvirt xml format
  app: Allow to connect to channel using unix socket
