Have you looked at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/tree/gtk/spicy-screenshot.c

Or: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/tree/gtk/spicy-stats.c

Bascially you need to setup a SpiceSession with connection details, connect to the "channel-new" signal handler, and call spice_session_connect(session).

In channel_new_cb, you can keep reference on the various channels, and decide which you want to connect to.

Then each channel has various methods or property to interact with it.

Hope that helps
