Yes.  Fedora 10.

I have done this for firewire, but fortunately the syntax was in the
wiki.  Not sure about the syntax for these devices and it does not
seem that straight forward.  Again, the devices I need permissions for
(with a slight correction to a typo I had in the OP):

>> chmod ugo+rw /dev/tty*  (so myth can change the channels over the serial port)
>> chmod ugo+rw /dev/snd/* (so myth can output sound)
>> chmod ugo+rw /dev/video* (so myth can capture with my PVR-350)

How would I go about adding rules for these (and more to the point,
why all of a sudden do I need to do this after not having to before)?

I looked into this as well, and again, was a bit confused.
