ENBDs primary focus is on distributed network RAID. Removable media,
networked sound and so on are small side-projects that doesn't seem to
affect that primary goal (and that support isn't even present in the
latest stable release).

It had some code go into it to more easily avoid deadlocks and so on (a
problem with network devices and especially with swap on nbd - but the
respective home pages would do a better job about this than me).

Others have already pointed out that all that is needed on the server is
the userspace application, one instance per swapfile (and enbd-server is
at least present in APT as easily as the similar nbd-server).
