To be more specific; I'm trying to generate a test signal on my laptop
that I can then route through Asterisk and listen to on some other
device, for example my cell phone.

In this way I can tweak the QOS settings on a firewall and hear results
instantly.

At the moment the only way I can think of to do this is to install a
full-blow instance of Asterisk, setup sip-trunking between it and the
destination Asterisk and then make up some test-call files and drop them
into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.

Just seems like overkill.
