probably the faster "handmade" way will be :
- set the edit point on mouse
- grow the height and wide of the track to see the sound / silence 
difference (Ctrl+mouse roll and Cap+mouse roll)
- put the mouse pointer after 1st sound ending
- press s to split
- put the mouse pointer before 2nd sound start
- press s to split
-click on the silence region
-press del
---------------------------and repeat many times the 6 last lines !!

If someone here have a beter idea, please tell,
Fred
