Thanks for the hint, although I've already found the "sample code". ;)
Was rather looking for something telling me what is crucial and what
options there are. Concrete code tends to just show the solution of a
specific problem. (My five cents to the question why code is often, but
seldomly good documentation.)

Grepping reveals IPSec (i.e., esp{4,6}.c) as the only user of AEAD so
far. Is this correct?
