http://klappnase.bubble.org/phonoripper/index.html It's a program which will record from the line-in and detect changes in levels and split the audio into tracks automatically. I think the idea of it is for transferring vinyl or tapes to CD (or MP3/OGG/FLAC I guess with the right utilities installed). Other than that, I'm not sure if Audacity could do it, it could certainly record into WAV/OGG/FLAC format to put onto CD but I'm not sure if it can auto-split the audio based on levels.
