There is a create driver, I would use the version that is on CVS as it
has some bug fixes.

The create driver is not very different from the Roomba driver. There
is some extra-functionality in the Create API, but I don't think this
has been implemented in Player yet.

It is, the first element in the bumper array is the left bumper and
the second is right bumper.

Yes

If by infrared access, you mean access to the IR receiver on the top
of the create/roomba, then I believe that functionality is not yet
implemented. I'd be happy to help you out with implementing it though.
