It seems that I found the problem. I've added the user to the groups sound and 
pulse, deleted  .config/pulse and .pulse/ and logged out and back in. After 
that the volume is saved normally.
So, the actual bug is that pulseaudio silently fails to store the settings 
instead of showing the message "incorrect permissions" or whatever. This may be 
an intended behavior of course, but in such distro as Ubuntu it should be more 
friendly. Another thing is that previous upgrades didn't break the things but 
upgrade to 14.04 did.
