## Title

    [OpenAI Agents JS Realtime SIP] 'OpenAIRealtimeSIP does not support sending audio buffers; audio is handled by the SIP call.'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): With SIP, the telephony provider streams audio to OpenAI directly; the transport deliberately blocks duplicate buffers from userland.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-js/fdaf0a66ca6e9d89498909ad7cf64745630e8afb/packages/agents-realtime/src/openaiRealtimeSip.ts (github_issue, unknown, documented_behavior): Source: sendAudio() throws this Error with a comment that SIP integrations stream audio to OpenAI directly through the telephony provider; connect() throws UserError if callId is missing.
    
    Search phrasings: OpenAIRealtimeSIP does not support sending audio buffers; openai realtime sip sendAudio error; OpenAIRealtimeSIP requires callId
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
