Hi Loïc, I think that the "save timeline zone to bin" feature just saves a cut from a clip to the bin. It doesn't nest a portion of the timeline.
My personal workflow with Kdenlive is to do all my edit with the audio from the camera. Once I am happy with my edit, I create a new project to sync the high quality audio to every single shot that I used on my edit and I render a new footage file for each of them. Finally, I replace the footage clips in my edit (right click on the footage clip and choose "Replace clip"). While I think that this workflow works well, it is not ideal because re-rendering high quality footage for each clip may consume a lot of hard drive space. Another solution would be to make each audio synced clip as a new Kdenlive project and import each project to the main project bin. That is the only way I found for nesting timelines. However, in my experience, nesting Kdenlive files is pretty slow and not always reliable. The best solution would be to be able to sync up the audio with each clip at the Project Bin level. I don't know if this kind of feature is planned for a future version of Kdenlive but that would be awesome!
