You could make it suid to a user who has 2 additional groups. In that case
the program should reset its uid after the devices are open (same would be
true for suid root, but thats not a good idea).
BTW: there is a idea for settig groups for console access to devices
like cdrom, floppy, sound, mic, cam... so each user who logs into the
sonsole will get added to that groups, then your program does not need to be
sgid anyrthing, which is bad anyway since everybody even on networked
terminal could start it.
