Yeah, silencedetect only finds the silent parts, it doesn't do any cutting. My first attempt at this problem before Recut was basically this, but in Node, and creating an EDL file. It works fine but the feedback loop is annoyingly long - run the script, import the result into an editor, listen back, realize the silence threshold was too high, try again... so that's what drove me to make an interactive version.
