    Here's an indirect answer, dragged out from a project I worked on some time ago.

    The file http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~dinoj/icsi97syl.disc.gz
    has syllable-level transcriptions of conversational English from part
    of the Switchboard corpus. You could write a perl script that got
    clusters from it. Here's some example lines from the file:

    zV-jI-5-bi-j@w-wEr-D{t
    xEs-nQ-t5-b{d
    rY-i-P-Qrm-s$z-u-lu-bI-@-s3-H

    Syllables are separated by hyphens. The transcription is in DISC
    format, explained here:
