There's an annoying bug that prevents a Sphinx table to connect to a searchd using a host name.
So the example table in the documentation https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/about-sphinxse/#basic-usage that point's to "localhost" actually doesn't work.
After some investigation I found two errors. The first one is a wrong check after the getaddrinfo call. The second is a wrong usage of the returned struct.
