no. you wouldnt ... you would (and definitely should) have one volume
slider in the system-settings that controls the default alarm
volume ...(... like we should have one slider for each other role in the
system settings, while the indicator should exactly only have a single
slider that matches the hardware buttons)

... and apps *could* add a slider to the "create alarm/notification"
dialogs if they wanted to which would override the default volume when
set and return the volume for this role to the default after it played.

we are massively limiting developers if we dont allow role specific
volume sliders in apps imho, you can use them on every other mobile
platform.
