There is no binary in Portage providing the binary "silence":

        $ e-file silence

        *  net-irc/irssi
               Available Versions:	1.0.0 1.0.7 1.2.1 1.2.2 
               Homepage:		https://irssi.org/
               Description:		A modular textUI IRC client with IPv6
                                        support
               Matched Files:		/usr/share/irssi/help/silence;

However, there is `mp3splt`,  provided  in  the  package  `media-sound/mp3splt`.
It's described in the question provided as a comment to your  UNIX  S.E.\  link.

mp3splt primarily works with mp3s, but can also support  ogg,  which  can  be  a
container format for flac.  I've never used it myself, but it  looks  promising,
providing you are OK with placing your flacs inside an ogg.

Hope this helps.
