The segmentation into syllabic nuclei, which is one of the segmentation modes
in the Prosogram script, uses a similar approach : detection of peaks in 
band-pass filtered
speech (350-3500 Hz). 
This approach has been tested on French continuous speech and gives > 90% 
recall of syllables.
Just have a look at the scripts prosomain.praat and segment.praat to see how it 
works.

Hope this helps,

Piet
