[Marshmallow] Media files on SD card formatted as "adoptable storage" not indexed



I first asked this question in the ROM specific thread, but nobody seems to have an answer. I don't know whether what I am grappling with is a general problem of the adoptable storage feature or one specific to CM13 or even this particular ROM.

I have about 10 Gig of images and audio files on the SD card which is formatted as adoptable storage, however, the music application insists I have no audio files and the gallery app only shows pictures taken with the camera but ignores older/other images on the card. This also affects other players, such as VLC and Google Play Music. Audio files are visible in the CM file manager and playable when I click on them, but there seems to be no library. In VLC, I can play files using VLC's directory browser, but just as the other apps it seems to have no index/library of audio files. When I go to Settings/USB and Storage, I am told that I have 88 KByte audio files on the card but 16 GByte "other". So again it seems that Android fails to index media files on the SD Card. Is this a known problem or is it probably something specific to this ROM?
