I haven't been able to test chan_oss, either, but I can start by giving you the 
general idea of how it is supposed to work.

Asterisk indicates a condition to the channel driver by using the indicate() 
channel callback.  When you return -1 from the indicate callback, you request 
the core to generate the tone for you.  When the indicate callback is called 
with a -1 argument, you return -1 to have the tone stopped.  From a quick look, 
the chan_oss indicate callback looks fine ...
