With the latest spice-gtk from git you should be able to use
remote-viewer --spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect='...' spice://127.0.0.1:5932

See here for the format for the '...' part:
http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/spice-reference/SpiceUsbDeviceManager.html#SpiceUsbDeviceManager--auto-connect-filter

Note that this doc describes the gobject property corresponding to
the --spice-usbredir-auto-redirect-filter cmdline option, so don't
get confused by the description of what it does / the default,
I only point to it for the description of the filter-string format!

Note that we've not yet done a release with this functionality included,
so to get this you need to either wait a bit, or build spice-gtk from git.

Hans
