You can't. The volume rocker controls the notification volume unless you have a music/video application running, during which time the volume rocker controls the media volume.

That's stupid and unnecessary.

My old Omnirom 4.4.4 ROM let me choose a default volume slider. Very useful if you want to change media volume *BEFORE* starting a media app, and avoids that awkward problem of accidentally setting the phone to silent in your pocket.
