Confirmed the problem is PulseAudio. Used http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty- keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/ (well, almost, had to put exit at the top of /etc/init.d/pulseaudio, because update-rc.d wouldn't cooperate, and ran asoundconf reset-default-card at the end and left GNOME sound settings on "autodetect") ... now pulseaudio never starts and my volume settings remain the way I want them ! :D
