My first thought would be to use a sound editor like Amadeaus Pro or perhaps the other mentioned apps like Garage Band might allow you to manually run through the sound recording and drop markers at the end of each track and then instruct the program to split out into files delimited by these place markers. I've done that with Goldwave on Windows and I'm rather certain Amadeaus can do this too.
