I have a problem with audacious 3.5 from standard Xubuntu 14.04 repositories. I found that problem occurred when resume "playing on start" enabled then after player starts audacious throwing error - No decoder found for file:///home/dem/%25U When i close error message new playlist automatically created with only %25U file in it. Tried to delete all playlists then created again, but problem persist.

"audacious %U" is the command line called out in audacious.desktop. The "%U" is a special code that is supposed to be replaced with URIs for Audacious to open. If you're just launching Audacious without opening any files, then the "%U" is supposed to be omitted. Apparently your desktop/file manager/launcher is just sending a literal "%U" to Audacious instead.
Edit: "%25U" is the URI-encoded form of "%U", in case that wasn't clear.
