These settings are accessible via the compression attribute in all following elements: image to set image compression (accepts auto_glz, auto_lz, quic, glz, lz, off), jpeg for JPEG compression for images over wan (accepts auto, never, always), zlib for configuring wan image compression (accepts auto, never, always) and playback for enabling audio stream compression (accepts on or off).

Exactly.  So I am assuming our version of libvirt does not support those
parameters and thus we are using defaults.  What are the defaults? No
great pressure for anyone to answer unless one knows it off the top of
their head.  We'll keep experimenting to find out.  Thanks - John
