Ok, so you can use the Aggregator module to display RSS-content.
If you're using a feed from TED, YouTube or any other video feed, the need to embed that video might be important to some.

I am one of those people.
I've found many guides which gets the job done using these modules:

feed api
feed api mapping
emfield (+ correct extension)
CCK

So you might be asking yourself "Why's this idiot posting this thread?"

Well... I'm not using Drupal 6, and not all of these modules have been updated for Drupal 7.

Also, I don't know about you, but even if they were available for D7,
installing 4 (5) modules for this purpose is not (in my opinion) an elegant solution at all!

So, before I start developing a new extension to the aggregator, I just wanted to make sure that there isn't aleady a solution (which doesn't involve bloating my system) that I just haven't been able to find.

Yes. There is no good reason to port FeedAPI to Drupal 7.
Use Feeds module(also read "bye FeedAPI, hello Feeds!" post in http://drupal.org/project/feeds to see why.
There is a migration module available(outside of drupal.org but it worked me well).

After migration, have a look at http://drupal.org/node/856780 to see extensions available for Youtube feeds.(perhaps checking it first worth!)
