You are not going to be able to use SendFax on a console channel driver,
unless you've got your console audio somehow hooked to a FAX machine. In
any case, the messages you got are not from SendFax, they are from
chan_oss, and you'll need to investigate that. This problem is not
related to your use of FAX, so it's not a 'fax problem'.

If I had to guess, I would suspect this is because chan_oss claims that
it can switch to signed linear audio mode (so Asterisk does not use a
translation path to achieve that), but can't actually do it.
