Set custom passthrough device by Python (Dharma)

I'm trying to set the audio outputs via a python script.

The relevant code is:

Code:

output = "plug:tvhdmi"

xbmc.executehttpapi('SetGUISetting(3; audiooutput.customdevice; %s)' % (str(output)))

xbmc.executehttpapi('SetGUISetting(3; audiooutput.custompassthrough; %s' % (str(output)))

The customdevice is changed correctly, but the custompassthrough doesn't get changed.

Here's the extract from my guisettings.xml file

Code:

<audiooutput>

        <ac3passthrough>true</ac3passthrough>

        <audiodevice>custom</audiodevice>

        <channellayout>0</channellayout>

        [b]<customdevice>plug:tvhdmi</customdevice>

        <custompassthrough>plug:dmixer</custompassthrough>[/b]

I know setGUIsetting is supposed to take a number between 0-2 but the string still seems to get set for the first setting.

Is it actually possible to do this via python? Seems odd that I can change one, but not the other.

Thanks,
