I've heard this feature requested a lot before, so I implemented it for
Audacity last night. Here's what you can do:
1. Import large file
2. Create a label track (this is how you use markers in Audacity) and
create a marker at each splitting point. Give it a good name.
3. select the wave track and the label track, and choose
Edit->Split at labels. This will create a new track for each region
between markers (don't worry, it's really fast), using the names of
the markers for the new tracks.
4. You can now export each track easily by selecting it, and choosing
File->Export Selection as...
This feature is only in CVS right now (see
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/developers.html for CVSROOT and
instructions).
