If the big file is a mp3 one, you need mp3splt utility. ( RPM)

mp3splt -c file.cue bigfile.mp3

For FLAC|wav you'll need shnsplit from shntool package, and cuebreakpoints from cuetools package.

cuebreakpoints <file.cue> | shnsplit -o flac <bigfile.flac>

Note: for *.ape files you'll need to install an additional package for shnsplit called mac.

Because the resulted files don't have tag information, you can use cuetag to add this info:

cuetag <file.cue> split-track*.flac

Cuetag works with flac, ogg and mp3 files.
