If I query the full list I see AlwaysOnTop = 0
If I do: <backend>:6544/Myth/GetSetting?HostName=pc-Hika&Key=AlwaysOnTop

<SettingList version="1.0" serializerVersion="1.1">
   <HostName>pc-Hika</HostName>
   <Settings>
      <String>
         <Key>AlwaysOnTop</Key>
         <Value/>
      </String>
   </Settings>
</SettingList>

If I query the full list I see AudioOutputDevice = ALSA:pulse
If I do: <backend>:6544/Myth/GetSetting?HostName=pc-Hika&Key=AudioOutputDevice

<SettingList version="1.0" serializerVersion="1.1">
   <HostName>pc-Hika</HostName>
   <Settings>
      <String>
         <Key>AudioOutputDevice</Key>
         <Value/>
      </String>
   </Settings>
</SettingList>

Etc., Etc
