While I agree that, in this instance, a udev solution is more
appropriate (this stuff can change with hot plugging, right?), one
option that I use a lot is mucking around with
/etc/security/group.conf

The following works for most things that I need:
gdm; *; *; Al0000-2400; audio, video, cdrom, floppy
login; *; *; Al0000-2400; audio, video, cdrom, floppy


Depending on the nature of your machine (single use, shared family
use, etc), a combination of udev + group.conf may be the best
approach.
