I don't have any other "users" of my system except for my wife, so I brute-forced it and chown/chmod'ed them by hand, but if it were a 'public' PC (in a lab or something) his solution seems more than adequate. We already have mechanisms like the above and /etc/fbtab that chown over devices to users when they are physically at the console, so these ugen* devices shouldn't be that much different.
