Do you always use PulseAudio?  500ms latency is very high.  Does kdenlive
support jackd for audio?

If the latency is consistent does kdenlive allow shifting audio tracks? 
You could manually shift the track to be aligned.

One solution which involves a lot of labor would be to export the audio
track, import to Ardour, make sure the latency compensation is set
correctly in Ardour, record the new audio, then export the audio recorded
by Ardour, and import again into kdenlive.
