The gdal_rasterize command line utility allows for an option "-burn " which sets all raster pixel values to a static value. This option does not exist in the GDALTools GUI for gdal_rasterize. In the GUI you can only choose an attrib column from the vector to obtain raster values.

The manpage of gdal_rasterize says about the -burn option:

-burn value:
           A fixed value to burn into a band for all objects. A list of -burn options can be supplied, one per band being written to.

The gui doesn't permit to set the band, so gdal_rasterize assume band 1.

Is it correct to permit only one value for burn (the burn value for band 1)?

Hello, bug triage...

still true for QGIS 2.13 master on both fTools and Processing GDAL.
Like suggested, we only need to add an option for band 1 only in "python/plugins/processing/algs/gdal/rasterize.py":https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/8214608169a09358997c882e5a8c0a26513913f1/python/plugins/processing/algs/gdal/rasterize.py

I think this is easy to fix and this feature request merits the 'easy' tag...
