At the moment I don't know what there seems to be wrong.
The command line looks good as far as I can tell.

If you use pacat you don't need the gstreamer package.

Have you tried to do it this way:

$ gst-launch pulsesrc
device=alsa_output.usb_device_d8c_c_noserial_if0_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0.monitor ! queue ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=out.wav

Take care that there are no line breaks, after you copied the command
line to the terminal.
