Sink input routing is stored in ~/.config/pulse/*-stream-volumes.tdb
(or .gdb, I don't know if some distributions still use the gdbm format
for the PulseAudio databases). There's unfortunately no user-friendly
tool for inspecting the database contents, but Debian has the tdb-tools 
package which probably contains some tool for inspecting tdb files, I
haven't tried myself.
