Actually the sftp scheme does work OOTB with emms:

(emms-add-url "sftp://user@host/path/to/media_file";)

turns out the emms-add-url is more universal than I thought and I 
can use it to add paths with a whole lot of different schemes 
(even file:// for local files), so I don't really need any other 
emms-add-foo at all!

Thanks.
