This board is very new and not mature in any way. If you use the radxa bsp kernel (debian) you have video, audio, wifi, etc... but with a modified version of the kernel with drivers and binaries closed in some cases. Mainline support is being worked on but it will take some time for the developers to add the necessary drivers and some may not arrive and even free and proprietary drivers may be mixed to make some specific features of each board work.
warpme is merging Andre's work (mainline kernel) with drivers that are in the radxa cubie a5e bsp to enable network ports for example.
in the sunxi kernel repo revisions of the "Display Engine 3.3" are being sent which adds video support for the new generation of allwinner (h616) soc among them.
The GPU drivers for the Cubie A5e board are present in the mainline kernel, so once the graphics engine is enabled, it should be easy to enable GPU video acceleration.
Yes, the warpme patches adds a lot more features. Apritzel sources will mostly likely be mainlined. You can use Apritzel's kernel source and add warpme patches on top. I took the quickest route and just added all of warpme's patches.
