Actually, a combination of these options may work best. Back when I was doing 
work for F123, I made some scripts that ran startx, jwm I believe, Orca and the 
program I wanted, for example Firefox, because the distribution needed to be 
designed to work on very limited hardware resources as found on the Raspberry Pi 
2 and 3. A suitable script for qemu would look something like

#!/bin/sh
export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
export QEMU_ALSA_DAC_BUFFER_SIZE=1256
export QEMU_ALSA_DAC_PERIOD_SIZE=128
export QEMU_ALSA_ADC_BUFFER_SIZE=256
export QEMU_ALSA_ADC_PERIOD_SIZE=128
twm &
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 1,cores=4 -m 4G -usb -soundhw 
es1370 -net nic,model=virtio -net user -drive 
file=<filename>,if=virtio,cache=writeback

And run the script using startx like
startx path/to/qemu-script.sh
Most likely, you won't need orca for this, since you're using the X server only 
for the video. But if you do want orca, just insert
orca&
immediately below the dwm line in the shell script.
