The *current* version of auth-source.el is documented in auth.texi.  I
think the examples are pretty clear.

The *new* version of auth-source.el in the tzz-auth-source-rewrite
branch has documentation in the docstring of `auth-source-search' and I
will update the manual in that branch as well.  It works very similarly
to the current version as far as the contents of the authinfo/netrc
file.  It can adapt to handle more backends, though.  So you could write
your own backend that took a search (e.g. :host x :user y :port z) and
returned whatever data you want statically, based on the search, or
based on other factors.
