I've been approaching it as a pulseaudio issue (although it would be
nice to address it in SFLPhone).  I found this interesting blurb:

"Note: The volume level, sink (playback) and source (recording) settings
will be saved automatically for every application you run, so PulseAudio
should remember your settings. If you wish to view or delete these saved
settings, they're stored in the file '~/.pulse/volume-restore.table'."

There are modules to do this and I do have them loaded in default.pa:
### Automatically restore the volume of streams and devices
load-module module-device-restore
load-module module-stream-restore
load-module module-card-restore

I'll keep digging - John
