I've never been able to get the audio sync working properly. In fact, it
often crashes kdenlive when I try to use it. This forces me to do my own
manual syncing, which I usually do by panning audio from one track to the
left and the other to the right and listening in my headphones until
they're reasonably synchronized. 

But even if audio sync did work reliably, it is a far cry from timecode
sync, the industry standard method for synchronizing video and audio from
multiple camera sources. It would be a real boon for kdenlive to have this
feature. The only question is whether any developers know how to implement
it.
