Why is this hard to fake at all?  You send a different fax to your
system, and replace the Asterisk audio file with the one from the
altered fax.  Additionally, the client has no realistic way of
verifying the correctness of your audio-to-fax translation tool; it
could just as easily output a TIFF file completely different from the
one that was actually faxed.
