Contributing to Kdenlive

Hey Jean and guys!

I have uncovered a new problem with the latest stable AppImage 18.04.1 release of kdenlive which is very troublesome.

Randomly, kdenlive will cause a "click" or "pop" sound at the beginning of an audio track. I have observed that this happens the most when two audio tracks are overlapping or a cut has been made at the beginning of the a clip.

I have also found that audio pops disappear in the same footage disappear when switching from SDL to RTAudio in the settings.

I am using a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04 with updates and
Mlt and ffmpeg versions all from the Appimage, so this has to be a thing in kdenlive or maybe the latest Alsa / Pulseaudio package?

I have tried some stuff suggested in forums such as exporting only the audio in wav, but without luck.

Any ideas?

Regards

I will try to spend some time on it tomorrow, help is welcome. But basically, if there is any UI related thing that you want to improve, feel free to ask and we can guide you if needed.

Thanks to a hint by Christoph Feck in the comments below that bug, I got it fixed and submitted the patch ([D14281](https://phabricator.kde.org/D14281)) for review.
