Does an RSS Aggregator Service exist?

I'm very happy with the way the Drupal Aggregator Module allows a user to build a collection of news feeds.

We would like to display the same information it outputs via a flex application, and I'm having a hard time deciding the best way to do this. We're serving up other content from Drupal to Flex via the services module. There doesn't appear to be a direct service for the data the aggregator displays.

I did find in beta5 of the Services module the ability to create a RSS view - but this appears to be only a single feed, unless I'm missing something.

I believe the answer is we need to create a Aggregator Service, which isn't beyond me - but I don't want to duplicate effort or run down this path if there's already a better solution to accomplish what we want.

Apologies in advance from a Noopal (Drupal Noob?)

FeedAPI or SimpleFeed + Views

There is not currently a service that I'm aware of that makes use of Aggregator.module. However, if you are using one of the more powerful feed aggregation modules like SimpleFeed or FeedAPI you can then access that information easily with the Views module and the views.getView() service.
