I found it!

https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libassuan.git;a=blob;f=src/assuan-socket.c;h=9a24f1a11fbe4e7973fbd6b82a602abe1a009e8e;hb=HEAD#l1106

libassuan merely tries to connect via socks on the correct port (9050 for 
tor). I have a ssh socks proxy running on that port.

Thank you for your time! For everyone to benefit from my problem, I'd like 
to suggest to clarify in the documentation, that and how tor will be 
auto-detected (really just a suggestion, feel free to reject or ignore 
it).

cheers,
Erich
