All QEMU devices have two parts, a frontend (which the guest sees) and a
backend (which is how the data gets to somewhere in the host). Some of
the command line options in QEMU elide the details for convenience (-nic
and -drive are examples). The -netdev device is all about configuring
the backend of the network part for a paired -device front end. There is
a similar setup for audio (-audiodev) although I'll defer to Gerd's
expertise on how the two interact.

Good stuff.
