Hi Dale, hi Ashley, thanks for all the help and informations! :)
In the meanwhile I found another way to split that file "as is" (flac remains flac) with audacity. Audacity contains a "sound finder" and "silence finder" analysis tool, with which it is possible to set marks/regions in the file, which mark sound and silence. The tools are configurable. This way one can tinker with the parameters until a near perfect match as acchieved and then write out the files with File->Export->Multiple. The visual representation of sound and silence is by far better then test-listening all created files after each iteration with any cli solution. Cheers!
