None of the current P8000 players support dual-side play without
flipping.
The do support both CAV and CLV, and are controllable by
computer.

The IBM M-Control Program/2 V2.0 includes drivers to control
the P8000 (as well as P4000 and P6000 series families, and many
Sony players).  It includes support for DOS, Windows, Windows
Multimedia Extensions, OS/2 1.3, and (very soon) OS/2 MMPM.
Most every function you can think of you can do via software.
The M-Control program includes other stuff as well, as described
in previous appends.

As for double-player operation, we've had that running for the
past 7 years, with a variety of applications.  So long as you
have two serial ports, you can have two players.  Since both
output separate video signals, you obviously need a video
adapter that handles multiple NTSC/PAL inputs, or two monitors, or a
switching box.
